Luminous illustrations!

Waw, what a discovery!
Such vibrant colours, a beautiful story and an original layout.

And did I already mention those fantastic vibrant colours?
Every page radiates such a luminosity!
Seldom seen something like that.
David Litchfield is definitely one of my new favourite illustrators!

This book is the third and final installment in the best-selling 'Bear and the Piano'-trilogy.
But no worries, having read the previous books isn't necessary to be able to follow this story.
Although you'll probably be inclined to discover the other ones too. At least, if they're still unknown to you.
Because did you know that the first book won many awards? Among others: Waterstones Children’s Book Prize for Best Illustrated Book 2016, Bangkok Book Award for Best Picture Book 2018, California Young Reader Award 2019, … All the awards and nominations can be consulted here.

David Litchfield - who illustrated ánd wrote this book - has a beautiful website which is a real source of inspiration and where you can see many examples of his luminous drawing style. To discover it, click here.
To see some of the magnificent pictures of the book The Bear, the Piano and Little Bear's Concert you can click here (with the arrows above on the page you can see more amazing pictures!).

A picture book with such beautiful illustrations will most likely receive 4* from my part.
But if the story is meaningful and totally in line with the drawings, it's sure to get the full 5*.
A pure joy for both children and adults!
