Happy Gabby Plays Classical Music

• Joanne Chan MJ 2008

Under the encouragement from her professional musician husband, Jo Anne, former CEO of Le French May Arts Festival and an arts and culture columnist for several international publications, began conceptualising a musical sound book that combines beautiful recognisable classical music tunes, funny rhymes and onomatopoeia as well as images of objects loved by children. The result of which is the publication 'Happy Gabby Plays Classical Music,' modelled after her own child. This labour of love serves to bottle up favourite memories of her child as a baby. It is a collection of poetic and multi-coloured images that will surely delight readers of all ages by Chantelle Holt.
