BIRD & DIZ, a picture book homage to music legends Dizzie Gillespie and Charlier Parker written by Gary Golio and illustrated by Ed Young, has received two starred reviews. Publishers Weekly notes, “scribbles of pink, orange, and blue correspond to bursts of bright notes…the book’s language and images are every bit as vibrant as the music they celebrate.” Meanwhile, School Library Journal praised the “amusing…frolicking” illustrations of “the ever-experimental Young.” BIRD & DIZ is available from Candlewick Press this March. Congrats, Ed!
