A great book about music and how it affects your moods and emotions ( ) This picture book brings together works from two famous artists; a poem about music by renowned black feminist poet and playwright, Ntozake Shange, with illustrations taken from collected paintings by the well-known painter Romare Bearden. The poem is well-paced and satisfying to read aloud, and the illustrations are bold enough to make a great show-and-read book for early elementary classes. no reviews | add a review
Shange's lyrical poem is a tribute to the language of music and the magical, often mystical, rhythms that connect people. Music defines who we are as individuals, the places where we live, and how we exist within our communities. Music is life.Written in a syncopated style that has its own melody, the poem is perfectly married to twenty-one extraordinary and diverse works from Romare Bearden who once said, "I paint in the tradition of the blues."Here is a unique and visionary book that speaks, indeed sings, to both children and adults and is, at once, compelling, profond, and entertaining.
