Subway Sonata

32 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | September, 2001 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1464-4 $$22.90
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Heather Maione. Tightly organized, this book traces the creative processes of a writer, a composer, a dancer, and a painter who find inspiration in the same morning subway ride in New York City. Pastel-colored illustrations sympathetically illustrate the simplistic trajectory of inspiration, creation, difficulty, and success for each of these nonstereotypical, artists, but the cast is a bit too purposefully diverse.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
