The music in George's head : George Gershwin creates Rhapsody in blue / Suzanne Slade ; illustrated by Stacy Innerst.

Slade, Suzanne, (author.). Innerst, Stacy, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"With rhythmic swirls of words and pictures, Suzanne Slade and Stacy Innerst beautifully reveal just how brilliantly Gershwin reached inside his head to create his masterpiece, Rhapsody in Blue. It's a surprising and whirlwind composition of notes and sounds and one long wail of a clarinet-dazzling and daring, just like George Gershwin himself!" --Book jacket.
