A gorgeous and empowering picture book biography about Evelyn
Glennie, a deaf woman, who became the first full-time solo
percussionist in the world. "No. You can't," people said. But
Evelyn knew she could. She had found her own way to listen. From
the moment Evelyn Glennie heard her first note, music held her
heart. She played the piano by ear at age eight, and the clarinet
by age ten. But soon, the nerves in her ears began to deteriorate,
and Evelyn was told that, as a deaf girl, she could never be a
musician. What sounds Evelyn couldn'thear with her ears, though,
she could feel resonate through her body as if she, herself, were a
drum. And the music she created was extraordinary. Evelyn Glennie
had learned how to listen in a new way. And soon, the world was
listening too. "Radiant." -Publishers Weekly "Perfect for
elementary school readers . . . Excellent." -SLJ "Beautiful." -A
Mighty Girl "Lyrical . . . Expressive . . . Vibrant." -Booklist "An
intriguing, loving biography." -Kirkus "Engaging [and] vibrant."

A gorgeous, joyful picture book following the lifespan of a book as
it comes across different readers—and creates a kind of magic
along the way. A new book is fresh ink on crisp pages never opened
the words inside just waiting to be read. An incredible journey
begins for every person who turns the pages. Together, book and
reader make a special kind of magic—a magic that’s even sweeter
when you share it!
This inspiring picture book tells the true story of world-famous
deaf percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie. This is a story of music.
Of obstacles. Of strength and hard work. Of all you can accomplish
when you dream. As a child, Evelyn Glennie's ears began to hurt.
Voices became distant whispers. Ringing phones sounded like muffled
crunches in her ears. But when she was told that she would need to
wear hearing aids for the rest of her life, Evelyn was determined
that this this would never stop her from playing music. Instead of
giving up on her dreams, Evelyn found new ways to listen... With
stunning illustrations from Devon Holzwarth, and a special note
from Evelyn Glennie herself, this is the perfect book to inspire
children to never give up on their dreams.
