The Man with the Violin

Dylan was someone who noticed things. His mom was someone who didn't.

This beautiful picture book is based on the true story of Joshua Bell, a world-renowned classical violinist who famously took his instrument down into the Washington D.C. subway for a free concert.  More than a thousand commuters rushed by him, but only seven stopped to listen – most of them children.

This book tells the story of Dylan – one of those children – and how he tries to get the adults around him to pay attention to the beautiful music around them.

Included is an afterward by Joshua Bell.
