#LetsTravelJuly Day 5: A #Concert of George Gershwin is bound to be goosebumps-inducing. Fats‘ review: “The Music in George‘s Head tells the remarkable story of George Gershwin and how he became one of the most popular musicians of his time. At a young age, George had been fascinated with tunes and beautiful music. No one knew about it until George started playing the piano that his mother bought.” Full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-jyw

I adore everything about this book. The illustrations are the perfect complement to the story about George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. The mix of actual music terms (staccato) with onomatopoeia (rattle-ty bang) make for an engaging story. It helps the reader hear the music in the noise, just like George.
