Soar through New York and discover its magic and monuments in this evocatively illustrated children’s book enriched by intricate lasercut pages.
A musical note filled with wanderlust breaks away from its sheet music to roam all around New York City. It visits Carnegie Hall, the bright lights of Broadway, and a hidden jazz club. It soars between skyscrapers, flies into a bass, improvises in a trumpet, and dances a little swing with a trombone, until it finally finds its place in a guitar playing in Central Park. There, it makes all the difference, and the guitar’s melody becomes a song that enchants passersby.
Beautifully crafted with Hélène Druvert’s intricate lasercuts,
New York Melody
is a wonderfully imaginative introduction to New York and its many unique rhythms for young children.
