NYC BOOK AWARDS 2001
Lookin' for Bird in the Big City
Robert Burleigh; illustrated by Marek Los
Marek Los, with Harcourt Brace publisher Paula Wiseman
"Words and art harmonize in this creatively imagined account of the first meeting between a teenage Miles Davis and celebrated saxophonist Charlie "Bird" Parker. Los makes a sparkling children's book debut here: his paintings create visual riffs that complement the jazz musicians and settings he salutes." - Publishers Weekly
