An inspiring picture book true story of the inspiring life of deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie.
Evelyn began to experience hearing loss at ten years old. She loved music, and did not want to give up on her passion because of her deafness. Trying different instruments helped, and she switched to percussion, where the vibrations could help her to feel the music with her body. Over time, Evelyn became an award-winning percussionist and opened doors to making music education more accessible for others.
The beautiful and evocative artwork captures the optimistic tone of the story and highlights the idea of ‘feeling’ the music.
