This psychedic picture book is full of colors and floating images and powerful diction--so much so that it imitates the art form of Jimi Hendrix himself. Even though this is designated as a book for grades four through eight, this would make an excellent addition to a middle or high school poetry unit with its vivid imagery and diction. In addition to the powerful language and imagery in this book, it tells a great story of the young boy dreaming of creating colors with his guitar's music, and the creative process he actively pursued to make his dreams come true. The book ends with helpful resources such as a discography and lists of websites for further investigation and research.
