Joaquin Rodrigo was a brilliant Spanish composer, writing music for piano, violin, chorus, and guitar. He was also, from the age of three, almost completely blind.
This picture book follows Joaquin from carefree early childhood through his life-altering illness, his discovery of classical music, and his successful career and family life. Joaquin's story can inspire children to dream beyond the apparent limitations suggested by circumstance.
The book's back matter includes multiple activities and enrichment materials.
"Splendid contribution to increasing the awareness of Joaquin Rodrigo's unbelievable life . . . . The illustrations are beautiful, but above all, the text is most appropriate and true." -- Cecilia Rodrigo, Director, Rodrigo Foundation
