A new generation can meet legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix in a bold new picture book for kids.
In “Jimi: Sounds Like a Rainbow: A Story of the Young Jimi Hendrix,” author Gary Golio and illustrator Javaka Steptoe show how a quiet boy from Seattle with a love of sound and color became one of the greatest guitar players of all time.
Golio brings the young Hendrix to life, revealing how passion, friendship, and a father’s love helped Hendrix make a connection with music that would one day set the world on fire. Steptoe’ s full-color original art uses mixed media on recycled plywood to create arresting visuals perfectly suited to this story of a groundbreaking musician.
“Jimi: Sounds Like a Rainbow: A Story of the Young Jimi Hendrix” is suitable for ages 6-9. For info, visit www.garygolio.com.
