The one about the blackbird Cover Image Book

The one about the blackbird / words by Melanie Florence ; pictures by Matt James.

Florence, Melanie, (author.). James, Matt, 1973- (illustrator.).

Summary:

"A gorgeous picture book about the connections created through music, and how music can reach loved ones with dementia. A young boy learns to play guitar from his grandfather, and the one about the blackbird is their favorite song. Years later, the boy visits his grandfather, and while his grandfather doesn't recognize him, now grown-up, he does still remember how to hold a guitar. A beautiful full circle moment ensues when the boy plays his grandfather their favorite song. The moving text and dynamic, gorgeous art celebrate the connection that music can create between two people and the joy that music, and the shared love of it, can bring at any age."-- Tundra Books.
