Synopsis

A rhyming tribute to a budding young artist."A little boy who loves to draw, Art, shares his art. Author/illustrator McDonnell creates a short story that takes flight with the innovations of Bobby McFerrin's narration. Audiences don't get just one narration—there are three—and, true to McFerrin's celebrated style, each has different trills, vocal jazz, and improv."---Audiofile
