Reviews

A truly amazing collaboration and a book to add to primary and secondary collections, as well as family bookshelves. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub * Pretty much everything one can imagine relating to music as well as more that you can't is included in the densely packed pages. Truly international in perspective, the presentation begins with a world map. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub *


Author Information

Composer Nicholas O'Neill has written, arranged and performed in almost every style of music, from classical to metal, from plainchant to funk. He is the recipient of multiple composition awards, Composer in Residence to the UK Parliament Choir, keyboardist for rock band JEBO, and a board game reviewer for various magazines and websites. Susan Hayes is in awe of children’s limitless imagination and thirst for knowledge — she strives to enjoy the world through their fresh, curious eyes. Susan lives in the East Sussex countryside of the UK with her own children, her partner Neil, and two gorgeous but slightly silly ducks, Dolly and Izzy. She has written dozens of children's books. Ruby Taylor collects inspiration from everything around her and is especially drawn to old printed ephemera, vintage illustration and hand painted signage. Ruby graduated from Bristol UWE in 2012 with a first class degree in Illustration. Ruby Taylor lives in Bristol.
