When Beethoven Was a Child

By James Smith

Step into the childhood of one of the world's most unforgettable musical geniuses-long before the concert halls, the symphonies, or the fame. This beautifully illustrated picture book invites young readers to meet a boy who didn't just hear music... he felt it.

From the lively streets of Bonn to the quiet warmth of his family kitchen, children follow a small, curious boy with big ears and an even bigger imagination. They'll watch him tap rhythms on pots and pans, discover the magic of the piano for the very first time, and learn from the kind teacher who helped spark his earliest dreams.

This story celebrates creativity, determination, and the wonder of childhood curiosity. It shows young readers that greatness often begins in small, everyday moments-listening closely, trying again, dreaming big. With gentle writing and vibrant illustrations, it's a joyful introduction to music, imagination, and one of history's most beloved composers.

Perfect for bedtime, classroom reading, or early music lovers, this book offers families a heartwarming journey through the early years of a boy who would one day change the world with his melodies.
