Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin

Was sad to read that Lloyd Moss, author of one of Owen's very favorite books, passed away:

Mr. Moss had long made listeners of WQXR chuckle during such staples of drive-time radio as traffic reports — after one that said “traffic in both lanes on the bridge is suspended,” he ad-libbed, “Come to think of it, so is the bridge.”

When a relative pressed him to write a children’s book, he decided to introduce children to musical instruments, and turned to rhyme: “The strings all soar, the reeds implore, the brasses roar with notes galore. It’s music that we all adore, it’s what we go to concerts for.”

The book, “Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin” (1995), illustrated by Marjorie Priceman, was named a Caldecott Honor book for illustration in 1996. Marvin Hamlisch later composed a score for it. Mr. Moss narrated the world premiere in Pittsburgh in 1998 and the New York premiere at Alice Tully Hall the next year.

“The dictum for many writers is, ‘Write about what you know,’ ” he said. “Music is what I know.”

Here's a video from Reading Rainbow of Gregory Hines reading the book.

                    Josephine. Una ballerina a Parigi di Jonah Winter (Donzelli) Illustrato da Marjorie Priceman

L’affascinante storia di Josephine Baker, cantante e ballerina afroamericana, poi naturalizzata francese, dalle umili origini allo strepitoso successo oltreoceano. Una storia vera che suona come una fiaba d’altri tempi, avvolta da colori esplosivi e dalle note del jazz. Marjorie Priceman, autrice e illustratrice, nasce nel 1958. Vincitrice del premio Caldecott per le illustrazioni di Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin, ha studiato alla Scuola di design di Rhode Island. Attualmente vive a Lewisburg in Pennsylvania. Jonah Winter nasce a FortWorth (Texas) nel 1962 e attualmente vive a Pittsburg in Pennsylvania. Il suo passatempo preferito da bambino non era giocare a calcio come facevano tutti i suoi amici, ma dipingere e scrivere storie. Crescendo non ha perso questa passione che gli ha permesso di diventare un artista conosciuto in tutto il mondo per i suoi lavori, tra cui Barack, la biografia dedicata a Barack Obama.
