(3) K-3 Illustrated by Dušan Petričić. Child violinist Joshua prepares to participate in a music competition. Nervous on the big day, he makes a mistake mid-song but then says something that an adult wouldn't dare: "I'd really like to start over." The (semi-)triumphant story, based on a true event in the life of virtuoso Joshua Bell, comes with a visible musical accompaniment of sorts: notes resemble swirling ribbons of color.
Reviewer: Nell Beram
