Crossingham's intent is to encourage young people to pursue music because 'in each of us exists a weird little music animal waiting to be discovered.' With this accessible book, he is sure to fulfill his intent., [Crossingham] promotes a strong DIY indie aesthetic that serves as an extremely refreshing counterpoint to the mainstream's preoccupation with instant, pre-fab, American/Canadian Idol fame. It's all about the joy of creating, and I can't think of a better message for little kids these days...It's an absolute pleasure to read for kids and grown-ups alike., 'All of this stuff is art, and just like music itself, it feels great to create.' This statement is the backbone of this incredibly readable book...Inspiration is addressed and not solely in words, but also through the exceptional graphic design and illustrations, which enhance and broaden the musical themes addressed with humor, wit, and style. This book will wow anyone who is ready to recognize that creative spark within themselves., 'All of this stuff is art, and just like music itself, it feels great to create.'

I let the seller know that the item received was a cook book that was offered as a free item with the Sourcebook for Aphasia that I ordered. This is being ignored, the tracking number is for the cookbook. I have not received the book that I paid for which is Sourcebook for Aphasia.
