Trailer for JIMI: Sounds Like A Rainbow - A Story of the Young Jimi Hendrix, a children's picture book due out in October '10 from Clarion/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Check it out!
Mary-- Your praise is much appreciated! People reading should also know that you received an advance copy of JIMI because of all I learned from your wonderful book about Jimi's life in Seattle (Voices from Home), where you and he attended high school together. The book is a collection of reminiscences by those who knew him before he became a musical legend, and it's an inspiring look at the tender, human side of a gifted young artist. Kudos to YOU, Mary!
Gary & Javaka, your new Jimi book is simply gorgeous, delicious and thrilling! Congratulations!! I love Gary's poetic prose, the magical mixing of colors and sound into the story line and Javaka's powerful, dreamy and colorful images. Brilliant work. I applaud you guys! May librarians buy up thousands of copies for young people to read. I wish I could be in Seattle when for your book tour! Bravo, Mary Willix
