Booklist - 11/01/2024 This exuberant inspiration manual exhorts readers first to listen to the myriad magical sounds surrounding them before they look inside to find a melody to sing their own songs loud and strong. In a third offering of a lyrical “how to” picture book, once again gloriously illustrated by the acclaimed Sweet, multiaward-winner Alexander collaborates with his performance colleague, Preston, an accomplished singer and composer. Their evocative poetry spins out a sequence of intriguing images reflecting the world’s sounds and rhythms, from the swaying and shushing of trees to nature’s chorus vibrating thunder in a sonic moment in your heart, inviting you to seek the quiet symphony echoing inside. The lovely, lyrical language is splendidly enlivened by Sweet’s energetic, inventive hand lettering; her signature mixed-media art combines layers of paint with textured and patterned collage, containing snippets of printed texts and sheet music, all compiled in a riotous dance of bright colors in richly detailed, lively layouts. This inspiring ode to the joys of singing is an irresistible invitation to lift up your voice. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
