Description
Written by Tony Johnston and illustrated by Tomie dePaola, this is a charming story about the power of music. It begins with a young boy and his poor family on the island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea. The boy grows, leaves his island, and studies music. He returns to his island home one Christmas morning and… you have to read this book to learn what happens next! ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Pages of Music
First published in 1988, this gentle picture book set in Sardinia features refreshed illustrations by the beloved and award-winning Tomie dePaola and tells of the giving and sharing of music on a very special Christmas morning.
Long ago, a painter and her son, Paolo, visited the poor but beautiful island of Sardinia and a shepherd shared with them his bread called
foglia de musica
, pages of music. When the mother offered to pay, the shepherd took his musical pipe and filled the air with music so sweet that Paolo danced and sang with joy.
Many years later, Paolo, now a gifted composer, returns to the island with his entire orchestra on Christmas morning to share with the shepherds his own “pages of music”—a song of a night long ago, a blazing star, and a child born in a manger.
