A young girl tries out different genres and instruments in this
exuberant celebration of music, winner of the Coretta Scott King New
Talent Award--now available in a special anniversary edition.
This is my family. We all love music, begins a young percussionist.
When she plays with her father, a cellist, she taps the triangle. With
her sister's marching band, she crashes cymbals together. At her aunt's
jazz show, she taps a woodblock.
Elbrite Brown's lively cut-paper illustrations, for which he was awarded
the Coretta Scott King New Talent Award, depict this diverse, joyous
family dancing, strumming, drumming and fiddling their way through a
tour of major musical styles--everything from classical string quartets,
to rock and roll, to the youngest niece banging on pots and pans. They
love music--and most of all, they love to celebrate and play it
together.
Includes a glossary covering types of music and instruments mentioned.
