About the Author
Reviews
"This one will make kids want to sit down and listen to the music for themselves."
—Booklist, starred review
"Music and dance made entertaining and joyous."
—Kirkus, starred review
“With music education programs evaporating from classrooms across the country, picture books have had to assume the baton. . . Not many look closely at the art of musical collaboration, and Stringer does that here with imaginative spark and dynamism. . . It’s enough to make readers want to put down the book and turn on the music.”
—New York Times Online
"Stringer trusts readers with a challenging and exciting account of the transformative power of visionary, risk-taking art."
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Composed with much alliterative, musical language, and onomatopoeia, this narrative flows beautifully. . . This book would be the perfect accompaniment in music lessons exploring the 100th anniversary of the famous work, and may inspire young musicians to create their own and deinitely different work."
—School Library Journal, starred review —
