My Family Plays MusicCoretta Scott King/John Steptoe New Talent Award Nominated for a Chickadee Award from the Maine Children's Choice Picture Book Project, 2004-2005. “The multiracial family with its rainbow of skin tones is not only a lovely multicultural statement but also a vivid reflection of contemporary families and musical tastes.” --Booklist “More a celebration of sound than a story, this upbeat picture book explores 10 different types of music.” --School Library Journal “...rhythmic story...buoyant tempo.” --Publishers Weekly Colorfully illustrated by Elbrite Brown. My Family Plays Music was inspired when my son, then three years old, asked me why he had a babysitter every Friday and Saturday night. He didn’t really understand when I explained that both his mom and dad played in a band on weekends, so I wrote this book to describe the joys of belonging to a musical family. |
