Illustrated by
Giselle Potter.
The specifics of Roche's own story are what make this how-to book so readable: once your sisters agree to start a band, "beg them to let you be in it too, even though you only know how to play air guitar." Potter's illustrations suit the quirky, homey feel of the text and authentically re-create time periods without making events seem old-fashioned or dated.
