My book talk was on the prolific composer, Johann Sebastian Bach. This book is a biography for young children and it takes place in Germany. Sebastian is the main character. He is an amazing composer and music writer. His main struggle was providing for his offspring on a musician pay alas, he makes it work by becoming the music conductor for the boys choir. He displays the love of music through his compositions. The mood of the book is melancholy, mostly sad. I liked this book because, it talked about family and the love of music between Sebastian and his family, his town, and now the world. I would recommend this book if you love music and love learning about new musicians.
