Ordinary Days: The Seeds, Sound, and City That Grew Prince Rogers Nelson - Angela Joy

Descriere

nA rhythmic, striking picture book biography of legendary singer/songwriter/performer Prince. n nBefore he became a legend, he was just a boy... n n 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. n n 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. n n 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. n nOrdinary Days also includes an extensive author's note and playlist of recommended Prince songs suitable for young listeners.n
