### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Music is All Around Us
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2011*

Before John Was a Jazz Giant is a cute children's book about a musician named John Coltrane.  The illustrations contain vivid blues, reds, and swirls that make the reader feel the music.  The story tells all about the sounds of John's childhood and how they inspired him to write music.  I really like how the author connected common household sounds such as hambones knocking in pots or the birds warbling to sounds of music.  When he picked up the horn he flowed with sounds he was familiar with and created new songs.  In the end we find out John Coltrane was all ears before he was a musician.  I recommend this book for at home as well as in the classroom.
