Description

|
|
|
It's hard to believe this is English artist Levi Pinfold's debut picture book; his tale of a French Romany boy who encounters a "Django" is not only charmingly told, it's also gorgeously illustrated in lush, minutely detailed paintings of transparent color depicting rustic France of a century ago. Young Jean longs to play the banjo like his father, but when he sees a little man, a sort of an "it," eyeing the banjo, it's the start of many mishaps and accidents—practical jokes, really—which the Django instigates, though Jean is the one to be blamed. Inspired by the boyhood of Jean "Django" Reinhardt in a Romany camp, this book for readers up to 8 is an utter delight.
