Raschka uses ink, oil pastel, and watercolors on butter board (looks a little like a brown paper bag) to make the loose, jazzy art for this brief story of Mary Lou Williams' life and music. Piano keys are black and white, Mary's hands are brown, and sound is represented by color. Except for the cover, no whole faces are shown in the book, including Mary's: only hands, and the sides of heads, so music/color can be shown flowing into ears. Back matter includes a capsule biography, an illustration of Mary, and a quote. The only source is https://www.marylouwilliams.foundation/ ( )

SUPER brief text. Touching story explained in a simple paragraph at the end of the book. ( )
