And There Was Music
by Marta Pantaleo

A playful reflection on the power of music and its deep connection to the roots of humankind. When you listen to music your heart changes rhythm.

Can you hear it? Music can make you happy or sad. It’s something magical that comes from your belly and can connect you to people who don’t even speak your language. With straightforward text and striking illustrations, each spread of this picture book is a conversation-starter that will inspire young readers to reflect on the importance music plays in our lives, while discovering faraway traditions, various musical instruments, and the need we all feel to play or listen to music, whether we are together or alone.

“Sweeping and thought-provoking. Readers will agree: “Music is magical.””
Kirkus

“Pantaleo captures the joy, the sorrow, the sharing and the universality of music, which can evoke emotions through sounds as well as lyrics.”
Booklist online

“This is a great introduction to the various musics and ways that cultures interact with them. The pictures are done with thick paint, and help bring the book to life.”
