ABOUT THE EVENT
Phoenixville Public Library will host a talk and book signing by local authors Nancy Schwartz and April Beard on Thursday, March 30 at 6:45 PM. Their new book is Up Bow, Down Bow: A Child with Down Syndrome and His Journey to Master the Cello. When fourth grader Alex Schwartz first met his cello, his eyes lit up with wonder and a smile appeared on his face as bright as the potential his new cello teacher saw within him. The cello positively impacted all aspects of his development including focus, fine motor and gross motor skills. Through the transformative power of music, Alex’s voice sings through his cello in songs of joy, determination and strength. Up Bow Down Bow shares the beauty of his ongoing musical journey and tells of the vital teamwork between a young music teacher with an endless belief in the abilities of her students, and a mother with ceaseless love, support and hope for her son who has Down syndrome, epilepsy and hypotonia.
