Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

Alan Crookham's narration is a standout feature of this audiobook. His clear, enthusiastic delivery brings Florence Price's story to life, making it engaging for both children and adults. The pacing is spot on, neither rushing through Price's accomplishments nor dwelling too long on any one piece. The production includes snippets of Price's compositions, which are beautifully integrated into the narrative, giving listeners a tangible sense of her musical genius. My only critique is that I wish there were more of these musical interludes. Overall, 'Florence Price' is a wonderful introduction to a trailblazing composer, making it an excellent choice for families interested in music and biography.
