The Trumpet of the Swan Hardcover - 2000
by E. B. White; Fred Marcellino (Illustrator)
This beloved classic, first published 40 years ago, is now available with new, exquisite illustrations by Caldecott Honor artist Marcellino. Simple yet stunning art brings to life Louis, a trumpeter swan who came into the world lacking a voice, and his story of determination and love.
From the rear cover
Swan Song
Like the rest of his family, Louis is a trumpeter swan. But unlike his four brothers and sisters, Louis can't trumpet joyfully. In fact, he can't even make a sound. And since he can't trumpet his love, the beautiful swan Serena pays absolutely no attention to him.
Louis tries everything he can think of to win Serena's affection--he even goes to school to learn to read and write. But nothing seems to work. Then his father steals him a real brass trumpet. Is a musical instrument the key to winning Louis his love?
