媒体评论

“This splendid behind-the-scenes story succeeds on all

counts….Intelligent and inspiring, [it] makes tangible the glory of

true collaboration.”  —

San Francisco

Chronicle

Ballet for Martha" offers a close-up look at the creative

process. It's also a rare glimpse into collaboration...Greenberg

and Jordan clearly value a good partnership, having worked together

for many years. Their impressive alliance is further boosted here

by Brian Floca's line-and-watercolor illustrations; his expressive

portraits and scenes are as appealing as the well-chosen details of

the narrative.” —

The Washington Post

“Using spare, concise sentences, the authors echo Graham's

approach to dance: like the movements in her choreography, nothing

is wasted, and in such exactness lies the beauty….Floca's fluid,

energetic line-and-watercolor illustrations echo the plain boldness

of Graham's choreography and make readers feel almost as if they

were present at the inaugural performance of Appalachian Spring at

the Library of Congress in 1944…[a] remarkable book.” —

Horn

Book Review

(STARRED)

“In this book…disparate elements come together. Matching the

mood of Graham’s moves, the writing is pared down but full of

possibilities. Floca’s ink-and-watercolor artwork nimbly shifts

from the prosaic (Copland reading Graham’s *) to the visionary

(a bride and groom on the open prairie) to the several-spread

finale of the ballet itself. The book as a whole beautifully

captures the process of artistic creation…what readers will surely

want after putting this down is to see and hear Appalachian Spring

for themselves.” —

Booklist

 (STARRED)

"Through the use of active sentences in the present tense and

brief quotes, the authors convey the excitement and drama of the

creative process and the triumph of the ballet. Floca, a multiple

Sibert Award honoree for his prowess in depicting the technical

worlds of spaceships and lightships, here uses watercolor and

pen-and-ink in a glorious depiction of modern dance movement, with

its quiet hand gestures, dramatic leg kicks and the swirl of

dancers "fluttering, skittering, reaching up to the sky." A

stunning achievement."

—

Kirkus

(STARRED)

"Greenberg and Jordan continue to carve out their

art-focused niche with this inspired book about collaboration....

In spot art and full-bleed scenes, Floca's muted, elegantly

composed watercolors capture Noguchi's avant-garde set and the

posture and movement of the dancers. Capturing the drama of dance,

music, and stage design in a two-dimensional format is no easy

feat, but this team does it with a noteworthy grace of their own."

—

Publishers Weekly

(STARRED)

"If Martha Graham’s choreography for 'Appalachian Spring' was a

'valentine” to the world, as critics wrote in 1944, then this book

is a love letter in return. Simple, poetic prose tells the story of

the creation of one of the world’s most-loved ballets and

compositions, and Floca’s graceful watercolor illustrations take

admirers through every part of its development...The authors

researched extensively but found a way to crystallize all of the

information into a gem that is approachable for young readers."

School Library Journal 

(STARRED)

“The dancers all read the advance copy of Ballet for Martha and

were charmed, thrilled, blown away, delighted, etc, etc! We all

love it!” —

Center
