Beschreibung
A gorgeous and empowering picture book biography about Evelyn Glennie, a deaf woman, who became the first full-time solo percussionist in the world.

"No. You can't," people said.

But Evelyn knew she could. She only had to listen.

From the moment Evelyn Glennie heard her first note, music held her heart. She could play the piano by ear at age eight, the clarinet by age ten. But soon the nerves in her ears began to degenerate, and Evelyn was told that, as a deaf girl, she could never be a musician. What sounds Evelyn couldn't hear with her ears, though, she could feel resonate through her body, as if she were a drum, and the music she created as a result was extraordinary. All she had to do was listen in a way that others didn't. And soon, the world was listening too.

Devon earned her BFA in 2000 from the Rhode Island School of Design, focusing on screen printing and painting. Childhood memories and her collection of vintage children's books strongly inspire her work. She currently lives in Aachen, Germany, with her husband, two kids, and beloved old hound dog.
Zusammenfassung
Centers deafness: Listen features a highly successful deaf female musician, who still performs around the world today.

Lots of kid interest: Evelyn's way of hearing with her whole body and not with her ears will captivate young readers, both deaf and hearing.

Nonfiction is happening:Nonfiction picture book biographies, particularly those featuring musicians, have done well-think Ada's Violin, Trombone Shorty, and Drum Dream Girl.

Promotional support from Evelyn Glennie: Evelyn Glennie has been consulted on Listen, has given her entusiastic blessing, and will help promote it. (She has 50,150 Facebook followers, 12,400 on Twitter, and 7,125 on Instagram.)

In-the-know author: Though not deaf, Shannon Stocker identifies as a differently abled musician who depicts the intersection of Evelyn Glennie's deafness and talent in nuanced, empowering ways. (Author's note included.)

Stunning artwork: Devon Holzwarth's rich illustrations bring warmth, vibrancy, and texture to the story, underscoring the idea of hearing-and seeing-things in new, extraordinary ways.
