A stunning new picture book from beloved icon Julie Andrews and her
daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, that introduces readers to the
remarkable story of the development of written music, and speaks to
the beauty of music and the power of perseverance. Featuring the
illustrated lyrics to "Do-Re-Mi" and an author's note about Julie
Andrews's connection to the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein song!
Centuries ago, a young Italian monk named Guido longed to find a
way to write and teach music. Eventually, he created the musical
scale, using the words Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti-Do...one syllable for
each note. Though the other monks thought it was a waste of time,
Guido's music couldn't be silenced. His discovery remains the
foundation for learning music today, and inspired the famous song
"Do-Re-Mi," which Julie Andrews sang in the beloved movie The Sound
of Music. This richly illustrated picture book from beloved icon
Julie Andrews and her daughter, bestselling author Emma Walton
Hamilton, introduces readers to the remarkable story of Guido
d'Arezzo's development of musical notation. In addition to the
lyrics of "Do-Re-Mi" illustrated in full color, the backmatter
includes an author's note, extensive historical notes, and a
glossary.
Once a skinny and weak child, Italian Gino Bartali rose to become a
Tour de France champion and one of cycling's greatest stars. But
all that seemed unimportant when his country came under the grip of
a brutal dictator and entered World War II on the side of Nazi
Germany. Bartali might have appeared a mere bystander to the
harassment and hatred directed toward Italy's Jewish people, but
secretly he accepted a role in a dangerous plan to help them.
Putting his own life at risk, Bartali used his speed and endurance
on a bike to deliver documents that Jewish people needed to help
them escape harm. His inspiring story reveals how one person could
make a difference against violence and prejudice during the time of
the Holocaust.
