The Remarkable Farkle McBride

I didn't know John Lithgow was an author of picture books. This is a story of a musical prodigy who, after seeing and discarding different instruments, finally finds his true calling as a conductor. I loved it. The story is cute, the illustrations are excellent, funny and singular, and--well, I love stories about kids who love music. Great book.
