Gr 2-5-This picture book biography tells of Amy Cheney Beach, a white 19th-century musician who began composing before age two. Born in 1867, Beach yearned to play her mother's piano despite her conservative parents' restrictions. Her passion for music and relentless composition eventually led to piano lessons, recitals, and a debut at the Boston Hall of Music at 16. She later published her first symphony and became the first American woman to gain recognition as a composer of a large-scale orchestral work. DeLems presents Beach's story with engaging text, while Jay's artwork captures her rise with vibrant colors. The book includes an author's note, timeline, period photos, musical glossary, and bibliography.
