About the author
Richard Thompson's widely beloved early work within the band Fairport Convention revived British folk traditions, and his duet albums and performances with Linda Thompson are legendary. His songs have been covered by Elvis Costello, David Byrne, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, and R.E.M., among others. He continues to write and perform, and to tour widely. He lives in New Jersey.
Editorial Reviews
". . . a great transition between picture books and novels. In a simple, repetitive, rhyming text, the author describes places where "music" is hidden, just waiting to be released. . . The book is simple and fun, but there is also a deeper meaning hidden behind the collection of aural images -- that music is really everywhere if one is prepared to sit still and listen."
