Description

A musical note filled with wanderlust breaks away from its sheet music to roam all around New York City. It visits Carnegie Hall, the bright lights of Broadway, and a hidden jazz club. It soars between skyscrapers, flies into a bass, improvises in a trumpet, and dances a little swing with a trombone, until it finally finds its place in a guitar playing in Central Park. There, it makes all the difference, and the guitar's melody becomes a song that enchants passersby.

Beautifully crafted with Hélène Druvert's intricate lasercuts, New York Melody is a wonderfully imaginative introduction to New York and its many unique rhythms for young children.

Reviews

An adventurous and curious musical note flutters out of a concert at Carnegie Hall to see what else might be happening in New York City . . . Druvert employs lyrical verses . . . creating images that soar along with the music. Inventive, detailed illustrations in blue-gray, black, and white, along with one shining, golden trumpet, alternate with, and provide depth for, breathtaking, incredibly delicate and intricate laser-cut black pages, enriching the sweet, slight tale . . . An amazing, glorious experience.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
