The art reminds me of Pixar concept art, but with even more life to it. The story has a soothing, bouncy rhythm that matches the plot very nicely. ( ) “There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.” - composer John Cage. Song in the City focuses on the fact that there is a song all around us. It is a very touching book about a young blind girl sharing her lived experience with her grandmother. The illustrations pop and really highlight the sensory experience. I agree with this statement: "Song in the City bridges the gap between generations of music and family, while centering love, understanding, and joy." no reviews | add a review
