This is a striking and award-winning illustrated volume originally published in French that tells the story (without words) of a whimsical symphony conductor who ventures into the forest and conducts a musical movement of trees that magically become birds in flight. Spread after beautiful spread draw the reader in as this charming tale explores in color, perspective, and motion an amazing musical transformation. You can almost hear the score swelling off the pages... This is a difficult to classify but ultimately engrossing book in a distinctive vertical trim size that art lovers and parents of musically inclined children will be drawn to.
