Recenzii

* "[The story] is all told so naturally and with such sweet verve that readers may not notice that this is the legendary guitarist of the Rolling Stones. Thevibrant and evocative picturesare done by Richards' daughter...Over swathes of rich color she lays pen-and-ink drawings of figures and instruments, architectural details, free-floating musical notes--and cakes and tea things--that brilliantly carry the power of love and music into visual imagery. A CD of the author reading the story and playing a bit of "Malagueña" is included, and it is pretty wonderful, too.A beautiful example of artistic bookmaking, a story of family love and lore, and the magic of music personified in a way that's utterly accessible to children--and their dazzled parents."—Kirkus, starred review
* "Theodora Richards, Keith's daughter, contributes fluid, inked sketches and other freestyle graphic elements thatexude love and spontaneity. The accompanying CD provesRichards is as adept at telling bedtime stories as he is performing on stage."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"This rocks, though the effect is more like being rocked in a grandparent's arms."—Booklist
"Beautifully told."—The New York Times
