Reviews
"Swaths of paint and pencil lines are employed in a deft manner to portray a variety of patterns and textures, from the gentle waves of a child's hair to the geometric pattern of a clown's costume; each illustration is intended to evoke the mood of the paired musical selection."--FOREWORD REVIEWS
