From Our Editors

Inspired by the true story of the cellist in Sarajevo who played for 22 days when a bomb blast killed 22 people, Echoes from the Square tells the moving story of a boy's terror and grief in wartime. With his friends killed and maimed, the boy learns to hope again when he meets a cellist playing in the street.

From the Publisher

Inspired by the actions of Sarajevo cellist Vedran Smailovic during the Bosnian War, this book tells the fictional story of a young boy whose life is shattered by war and how he learns to cope again when he witnesses a courageous musician''s actions during a seige.

From the Critics

"Here is a book that will introduce children to the moving story of Vedran Smailovic, a real, present-day hero whose spirit I greatly admire. His spontaneous act of courage can be an inspiration to us all. It shows that an individual can make a difference in this world." -- Yo-Yo Ma

Here is a link to a YouTube video in which I read the story, accompanied by original artwork from the book and music performed by the cellist himself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMrf_sd3gkA
