Story and illustrations Joaquin Camp
Children discover that a piano can give life to their feelings. Music can give life to anything and everything. And that’s exactly what happens when a boy and girl play their brand new piano for the first time. As they take turns tapping keys, the children discover that even the simplest melody can stir up a symphony of sensations. This playful tale invites children to explore how music makes them feel. Hear how sounds attune to emotions. See how music colours the imagination. From synesthesia to onomatopoeia, these musical sketches show that learning big words and even bigger ideas can be as simple as PLINK, PLANK, PLONK.
What’s most impressive about this pick in The Secret Mountain’s growing collection of musical picture books is that as simple as it is, it opens up a whole world to readers’ imaginations. MONTREAL REVIEW OF BOOKS
