This is a widely accessible introductory biography of a lesser-known pianist from 20th-century America.
Star Stuff
Arresting watercolor compositions dotted with shining starlight spill across the pages of this original story about a night’s misfortune for a star-walking farmer and his donkey that will leave readers to wonder about the legends of the constellations.

Yellow Dog Blues
The history of the time period and the music makes this useful in the classroom.

Expressive and engaging, this picture book is the cat’s meow. A warm portrayal of kids and furry friends that introduces young children to phonics, emotions, and active listening.
PREMIUM
Saint Spotting
Useful for those wanting to understand church imagery or as an introduction to some of the stories of the early history of Christianity. For churches with stained glass windows or other art with this type of imagery, this would make an ideal book to have in the pews or church library for young people who might find saint spotting an interesting entry point to their visit.

The title’s minimal text and the age of the protagonist will hold little interest for preschool readers. Sideways portraits may distress the literal minds of toddlers and infants. Mommy-and-me time is an important topic, especially for new parents; however, this book fails as a read-aloud and as an instruction manual.
The Magic Flute
Stretching the possibilities of the picture book format—a tour de force for older children and adults.
