What happens when you introduce an exceptional composer to the greatest dancer of his generation? Something special, that's for sure!! Another great picture book for slightly older kids, "When Stravinsky Met Nijinsky: Two Artists, Their Ballet, and One Extraordinary Riot" (2013), by author-illustrator Lauren Stringer, tells the story of the frienship between two incredibly gifted artists, and the astonishing and polarising ballet, The Rite of Spring, that came of it. Stringer's artwork is equally exciting--colourful, exquisitely detailed, and reflective of the heightened emotion in the story. An absolutely gorgeous book! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #whenstravinskymetnijinsky #laurensinger #authorillustrator #authorandillustrator #harcourt #stravinsky #nijinsky #theriteofspring #riteofspring #ballet #breakingtherules #breakingrules #friendship #artisticcollaboration #composer #composing #balletdancer #ballerino #symphony #dancingbears #classicalmusic #bibliophile #childrensbook #childrensliterature #beautifulchildrensbooks #picturebook #picturebookreadaloud #kidlitillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/B2cg769gqwk/?igshid=65zcfuupf7ee
