Griffon String Quartet Children's Concert • Brown County Library, Green Bay
2024-01-11 18:00 - 19:30 | Brown Co. Library, 515 Pine St., Green Bay, WI, 54301, United States
The Griffon String Quartet will perform a children’s concert at the Brown County Library in Green Bay based on the Robert Frost poem/book “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” with illustrations by P.J. Lynch. The concert includes an “instrument petting zoo,” where children can touch and hold string instruments.
Lynch illustrates Robert Frost’s classic poem with moody, snow-filled watercolor and gouache landscapes. . . . Rendered in a palette of blues and greens, Lynch’s illustrations artfully match the quiet, building depth of Frost’s work.
—Publishers Weekly
Lynch has done a marvelous job slowing the pace of the poem down by spreading its text out in small pieces and augmenting the rich language with illustrations, which will make it easier to absorb the sensory details so quietly evoked by the words. . . . a gorgeous rendering that will bring the poem to life for a new generation and even encourage young poets to stop and notice their world with a lyrical, illustrative lens.
—School Library Journal
The illustrations bring the poem to life.
—School Library Connection
The value of a book like this is that it introduces young children to a poem they will almost certainly encounter again, inculcating a fondness that should later feel like warm recognition.
—The Wall Street Journal
