One night in 1952, master pianist David Tudor took the stage in a barnlike concert hall called the Maverick. A packed audience waited with bated breath for him to start playing. Little did they know that the performance had already begun.

A tree rustles.
An audience stirs.

That shocking first performance earned 4'33» plenty of haters; and yet the piece endures, «performed» by the smallest garage bands and the grandest symphonies alike, year after year. Its fans hear what John Cage hoped we would hear: «Nothing» is never silent, and you don't need a creative genius, a concert hall, or even a piano to hear something worthwhile. All you have to do is stop and listen.
Nicholas Day's text is reverent with a healthy drop of humor, warm and refined; two-time Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka's childlike pencil-on-watercolor artwork is uninhibited and electrifying, with all the visionary spirit of the work it chronicles.

When a young girl visits the museum, she finds an unexpected friend in a self-portrait of Florine Stettheimer. They're both artists; they both have Jewish families; they even look alike!
Florine's life was wild and glamorous. She painted people in flight and buildings that grew from the ground like crooked trees, bright colors and shapes and animals. She threw parties frequented by other famous visionaries like Marcel Duchamp and Carl Van Vechten.
Soon, our narrator is dreaming up her own fantastical parties for Florine, with table spreads of colorful treats, and painting and dancing and poetry. With Florine in her life, even a rainy day can't make the world seem humdrum anymore.
A Party for Florine is an unapologetically whimsical fan letter to an artist whose influence is clear in Sydney Taylor Honoree Yevgenia Nayberg's captivating illustrations.
