Blue Grass Boy

FROM SARAH:

Before bluegrass was a sound, it was a place, echoing the rushing streams and wailing winds of Kentucky. Barb Rosenstock brilliantly depicts the life of Bill Monroe, focusing on how the sounds of his home became a whole new kind of American music. Definitely follow this one up with some of his songs!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Bill Monroe loved many things: playing music, his big family, and his home in the bluegrass state of Kentucky. Even though his eyes were crossed and didn't work right, Bill's ears worked hard, picking out all sorts of sounds around his treasured home: rushing streams, wailing winds, and sundown jamborees with his family.
