Overview

Keith Richards family was very musical. His mother always had the radio on, his grandmother played the piano, he sang duets with his aunt, and his grandfather, Gus, played the violin, saxophone, and guitar. Gus y yo offers a rare and intimate look into the childhood of the legendary Keith Richards through this poignant and inspiring story that is lovingly illustrated with Theodora Richards's exquisite pen-and-ink collages. This unique autobiographical picture book honors the special bond between a grandfather and grandson and celebrates the artistic talents of the Richards family through the generations. It also includes selected photographs from the Richards family collection and an exclusive audio CD featuring bonus content. La familia de Keith Richards vivia en Dartford, Inglaterra, y era muy musical. Su madre siempre tenia la radio puesta; su abuela tocaba el piano; su tia y el cantaban a duo canciones de los Everly Brothers; su abuelo, Theodore Augustus Dupree (Gus), tocaba el violin, el saxo y la guitarra. Keith se crio durante los ultimos anos de la guerra mundial y la posguerra, cuando no era facil hallar el lado alegre de Londres. Pero aquel nino y su abuelo pasearon por todos los rincones de la ciudad. Durante esas caminatas visitaban talleres donde se reparaban instrumentos rotos. Un dia, Gus le mostro a Keith varios acordes de guitarra y le enseno a tocar Malaguena. Esa fue la introduccion de Keith a la musica y el origen de este conmovedor relato ilustrado por Theodora Richards, hija del autor.

Reviews

[The story] is all told so naturally and with such sweet verve that readers may not notice that this is the legendary guitarist of the Rolling Stones. The vibrant and evocative pictures are done by Richards' daughter...Over swathes of rich color she lays pen-and-ink drawings of figures and instruments, architectural details, free-floating musical notes--and cakes and tea things--that brilliantly carry the power of love and music into visual imagery. A CD of the author reading the story and playing a bit of Malaguena is included, and it is pretty wonderful, too. A beautiful example of artistic bookmaking, a story of family love and lore, and the magic of music personified in a way that's utterly accessible to children--and their dazzled parents. ?Kirkus, starred review, on the English-language edition
