This unique picture book is not a biography a portrait of a piece of his music, “Misterioso”. The words are set to the melody, with the notes depicted as different colors and scales in the text. It is a singular reading experience, and children will need some help interpreting how to read the short text. Reading it while listening to the composition is a surround-sound experience. Raschka's distinct art style works here, creating movement.
