So Many New Arrivals! 1/4: Little Melba and Her Big Trombone & The Noisy Paint Box
A pair of lovely biographies to start us off:
Little Melba and Her Big Trombone
Katheryn Russell-Brown, illustrations by Frank Morrison
ISBN: 9781600608988
Biography of Melba Doretta Liston, trombone and jazz prodigy.
An excellently plotted and illustrated tale of a plucky and amazingly talented young woman from the early days of jazz, who took to the trombone, played and composed for many much more well-known names, and worked until the 1990s. A Coretta Scott King Award book, and deservedly so.
The Noisy Paint Box: the Colors and Sounds of Kandinsky's Abstract Art
Barb Rosenstock, illustrated by Mary GrandPré
ISBN: 9780307978486
Lush illustrations with fantastic facial expressions show off Vasily Kandinsky's life to great impact.
A fictionalized account of Kandinsky's childhood and his experiences with synesthesia that lead him to eventually create abstract paintings full of bright colors and dynamic movements. GrandPré's illustrations really knock this one out of the park. Beautiful and graceful biography of an influential painter, suitable for even the youngest.
