'On a normal day, a baby creates mayhem in an apartment block. Diane Jackson's words express her passion for music, and its ability to soothe the soul. Giuseppe Poli brings to life the musical theme in the book, transforming an apartment block into a vibrant community.' (Publication summary)
'Baby Band begins by distancing readers whilst simultaneously intriguing them: 'The apartment block loomed cold and quiet. The same people had lived there for a long time. They did not know each other and they never spoke - not even to say hello.' Even though the building and its inhabitants are unwelcoming, the loose lined, colour-splotched illustrations intimate change. A baby arrives to disturb the strained peace and he certainly shakes up both his mother and the occupants of every apartment.' (Introduction)
