Description

WHEN BOMBS BEGIN TO FALL, Ali drowns out the sould of war with a pen.

Like other children living in Baghdad, Ali loves soccer, music and dancing, but so much of all, he loves the traditional art of calligraphy. When bombs start to fall on his city, Ali turns to his pen, writing sweeping and gliding words to the silent music that drowns out the war throughout him. Gorgeously illustrated with collage, pencil and charcoal drawings and, of course, exquisite calligraphy, this timely and yet universal story celebrates art and history but in addition offers babies a technique to have in mind all they see and hear at the news.

Silent Music is a 2009 Bank Street – Absolute best Children’s Book of the Year.
