Becoming Bach

(3) K-3 This glimpse into the development of Johann Sebastian Bach's musical genius emphasizes that sometimes "words weren't enough" for him. The spare first-person text gives way to bright, almost dizzying spreads, where notes make more than music as the illustrations entwine concepts of pattern, sound, and imagination. A somewhat cerebral but quite enthusiastic portrait, with a biographical afterword and suggested listening. Websites. Bib.
