In the author‘s note, Shannon writes of her own disability, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, and how the achievements of Evelyn Glennie inspired her not to give up on her musical dreams. While writing this biography, she asked Glennie what message she wanted to share with young readers.
Glennie: “Create your own story. You cannot wait for things to happen to you. You must make your own opportunities.”
If your ears can‘t hear the strum,
or hum,
or thrum of a melody,
can music still swirl and whirl?
It did for Evelyn Glennie.
