reader girl: This is a wonderful little book! It's nice to see a softer, reflective side of Keith Richard's.
Such a sweet story and a fun cd.
My go-to baby shower and kids' birthday gift.
I highly recommend!

Jo Baker: Bought this for my 7 year old grandson, he loves it. The cd with Keiths soothing voice helps him to follow along and read the book. A favourite bedtime story.

Brownigrl28: I read this to my preschool class, ages 3-5 years. They really enjoyed it! It was simple and the content seemed to be relatable to my students. After listening to the story, they enjoyed looking at the photos, in the back of the book, of Keith and his family. Then we listened to some Rolling Stones music and made our own guitars with paper plates, rubber bands, and paint sticks.

A. Farmer: There is such a fine line between being a genius and being a knucklehead, sometimes. It is easy to get distracted by the hard living rock guitarist image and forget that Keith is one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th Century. Keith has led a remarkable, incredible life, despite making choices that were sub-optimal at certain points. His essentially humanity shows through in this warm little story. Keith has this ability to look at life and appreciate all of the little marvels that others might take for granted. Like Keith's best songwriting, this story delivers an emotional impact without being overtly sentimental.
This story works in the context of being a children's story, but still feels like an authentic tale being told. It isn't simplistic or trite, yet still makes sense to kids. As always, Keith is full of surprises.

stéphane50: L'histoire du grand-père de Keith RICHARDS, guitariste et leader avec Mick JAGGER des Rolling Stones, et de sa première guitare. L'édition en import est intéressante puisqu'il y a un CD joint au livre. Un CD où Keith RICHARD se présente et raconte lui-même cette histoire sur une mélodie qu'il joue à la guitare acoustique. Magnifique ! Un conte pour enfants, certes, mais par Keith RICHARDS et illustré par sa fille, Théodora. On y trouve même dans les dernières pages de l'ouvrage des photos de Keith en grand-père ainsi qu'une photo plus ancienne de Keith avec sa fille Théodora s'essayant à la batterie. Un histoire de famille attendrissante...
