What is Blues Journey (Bccb Blue Ribbon Nonfiction Book Award (Awards)) about?

The blues aren't all sad. There's joy in the blues as well as heartbreak. Love discovered. Love lost. Love just around the corner. In this beautiful tribute to the poetry and art of the blues, renowned author Walter Dean Myers collaborates with his son, award-winning illustrator Christopher Myers, in a true masterpiece of picture book creation filled with struggle, grief, hope, joy, and love. Each original blues-style verse on a page calls out a response from the artist in striking tones of brown, black, white, and blue.

This book is for older children who love music and their parents who will appreciate the layered sophistication of the striking artwork and interplay between art and text.
