Imani's Music

32 pp. | Atheneum | January, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-689-82254-5 $$17.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jude Daly. In fable style, Imani the grasshopper relates the origin of music in people and in animals along with some history of slavery. Although the storytelling is occasionally ponderous, the muted watercolors capture the moods of the story and move the reader from the plains of Africa to the shores of a strange new land.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
