Su questo libro

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Eee oh lay! Eee oh lay!
Such a wild and beautiful sound,
Olivier thought.
His eyes followed the bird as it turned
toward the woods, floated over the treetops,
and, at last, disappeared.

Detained in a German prison camp, Olivier misses his family, his friends, and his home but most of all he misses music. A chance encounter with a nightingale and a German officer, however, provides Olivier with a small miracle the opportunity to write music again.

Jen Bryantâ s poetic biography of French composer Olivier Messiaen, coupled with Beth Peckâ s evocative pastel illustrations, captures both the desolation of a World War II prison camp and the transforming power of music. This book will stir readers of all ages to seek hope in the things that inspire them.
