A rhythmic, striking picture book biography of legendary
singer/songwriter/performer Prince. Before he became a legend, he
was just a boy... On an ordinary day, you could see him. A young
boy named Prince Rogers Nelson, who had parents who fought, nowhere
to call home, and a collection of memories turned into sound: the
shouts of anger, the purr of pigeons, the roar of cars down a busy
Minneapolis street, and the whisper of cold wind on budding lilac
bushes. Other sounds joined in as he taught himself to play the
guitar, piano, drums, and much more, leading to the day this
ordinary boy began to make music--and became extraordinary. Black
Is a Rainbow Color and Choosing Brave author Angela Joy's exquisite
words harmonize with acclaimed illustrator Jacqueline Alcántara's
sweeping art to create a tender, profound look into music icon
Prince's early life and the moments that shaped him. Ordinary Days
also includes an extensive author's note and playlist of
recommended Prince songs suitable for young listeners.

Lustrous illustrations and a rhythmic text featuring a cumulative
list of sounds bring to life the thrill of an impromptu jam session
and the joy of making music together. A drum circle is forming on
the beach, and one fascinated child would love to join in. Soon
there’s everything from a conga’s pat-a-pat-a, pat pat to some
bongos’ taka taka, ta ta—and it looks like so much fun! But
what do you do when you don’t have a drum? Well, when you let the
music move you, you just might find other ways to jam, too!
