1: Simplifying is one thing, wrong is another
It's fine and good to write simple books for kids, but there's a difference between simple and wrong. For example, African drumming was not banned in some slaves states, it was banned throughout the South except for in New Orleans' Congo Square. The second line doesn't accent "the rhythm in such a way that it sounded as if the players were playing in 2/4 time". And voodoo rituals were not one of the "most popular events" in New Orleans "attended by both whites and Africans". And this is the first half of the first chapter! Why is this writer getting published? This is an irresponsible book; a child would actually be dumber after having read it.
