* A Schneider Family Book Award Winner * "Does a fantastic job of making sound come alive on the page. A fantastic book." -- Book Riot "This beautiful picture book biography celebrates the many ways we can listen--and the incredible creativity of this pioneering artist." --A Mighty Girl "Perfect for elementary school readers learning about music and fascinating women. This is more than a story of overcoming discrimination due to disability--Stocker captures something about the artist's need to be herself, regardless of abilities. Lush brushstrokes, delicate character portraits, and warm colors make this a beautiful title to explore, and the ample text and sweet author's note ensure that Glennie's story will have an impact on readers. Excellent . especially for musical readers looking to feel the music and not just hear it.

" -- School Library Journal "Radiant." -- Publishers Weekly "If you've ever faced a challenge in music, sports, or any part of your life, this book is a perfect fit. Kids who like illustrated biographies will also enjoy it. [Shannon] Stocker writes very movingly about [Evelyn] Glennie's life. The book is uplifting. It inspires courage. I strongly recommend it." -- Time for Kids (TFK Kid Reporter) "An intriguing, loving biography.

" -- Kirkus "Evelyn Glennie not only challenges the traditional role of a percussionist but what it means to listen to music. Lyrical text [and] expressive swirls of vibrant colors throughout evoke the sounds Evelyn's body feels and the beautiful music she creates in return." -- Booklist "Engaging text [and] vibrant illustrations, which effectively use color and pattern and movement to represent sound. An author's note provides more information about this remarkable musician's work." -- The Horn Book.
