The Piano- Story of a Friendship

“A graphic novel is an unusual form in children’s literature and this one uses the form well to tell a poignant story about creativity and the connection between an artist and her tools. The layering of history, with the piano being passed down to owners in different countries, is a skillful narrative device. It conveys the universality of these ideas and of human beings coping with similar issues across space and time.”
