Children's audio book about the life and music of Ella Fitzgerald

A beautifully illustrated biography focusing on the childhood and early career of this giant of jazz. On the accompanying audio, available via the Moonlight Audio App and on Audio CD,  the narration of the text is interwoven with recordings of the artist’s music, creating an evocative experience that immerses young readers in the artist’s life and music.

Follow Ella's rise from humble beginnings to become a queen of jazz, renowned for her remarkable scat improvisations, but also for her very personal interpretations of the Broadway classics and her live performances with Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong, among others. Each spread recounts a different stage of her life, and key moments are captured by evocative photos and by Rémi Courgeon's beautiful illustrations. On the accompanying audio CD, and via the Moonlight Audio App,  the narrative of the book is interwoven with 13 of the singer's most emblematic recordings. Fun exercises help to develop the reader's knowledge and understanding of the music.

With free access to our Moonlight Audio App, children can listen and read along at their own pace, page by page.
