A lyrical picture book biography of John Coltrane that focuses on his childhood.
Young John Coltrane was all ears. And there was a lot to hear, growing up in the south during the 1930s: church songs, preachers praying, music on the radio, and the bustling of the household. John was surrounded by all kinds of vivid noises that shaped his own sound as a musician. With vibrant words and glowing colors, Carole Boston Weatherford and Sean Qualls compose an amazingly rich hymn to the childhood of jazz legend John Coltrane. Before John Was a Jazz Giant is a 2009 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book and a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Square FishISBN-13:9781250822703ISBN-10:125082270XUPC:9781250822703Book Category:Juvenile NonfictionBook Subcategory:Biography & Autobiography, MusicBook Topic:Music, Cultural & Regional, JazzSize:9.90 x 7.90 x 0.30 inchesWeight:0.2513Product ID:SC62FK3PBR
