It's rare to find a biography for younger children that is both living and comprehensive. This book measures up on both accounts. And the best part is that it appears to be one of a series of composer biographies. Hopefully, Zeezok will republish all of them: Mozart, Handel, Beethoven, haydn, Schumann, Schubert, Chopin, and Stephen Foster.
