Ordinary Days: The Seeds, Sound, and City That Grew Prince Rogers Nelson, (Hardcover)

<p><b>A rhythmic, striking picture book biography of legendary singer/songwriter/performer Prince.<br></b><br>Before he became a legend, he was just a boy... </p><p> On an ordinary day, you could see him. A young boy named Prince Rogers Nelson, who had parents who fought, nowhere to call home, and a collection of memories turned into sound: the shouts of anger, the purr of pigeons, the roar of cars down a busy Minneapolis street, and the whisper of cold wind on budding lilac bushes. </p><p> Other sounds joined in as he taught himself to play the guitar, piano, drums, and much more, leading to the day this ordinary boy began to make music--and became extraordinary. </p><p> <i>Black Is a Rainbow Color</i> and <i>Choosing Brave</i> author Angela Joy's exquisite words harmonize with acclaimed illustrator Jacqueline Alcántara's sweeping art to create a tender, profound look into music icon Prince's early life and the moments that shaped him. </p><p><i>Ordinary Days</i> also includes an extensive author's note and playlist of recommended Prince songs suitable for young listeners.</p>
