Description:
Nature is everywhere! Readers just need to look--and listen--for it!
From raindrops tapping a rhythm on a rooftop like a drum to the whisper of the wind in fall setting reed pipes twirling, the outdoors is a symphony. This joyful picture book invites young readers to slow down, engage their senses, and listen closely to discover the music all around them, whether they're in a big city or a small town. Just a few moments of tuning into nature can bring calm and boost mood.
Sidebars accompany the lively text, where readers learn that music is an expression of nature and find the inspiration behind culturally centered musical instruments. Back matter includes a note to readers and activities to discover music in their own neighborhood and beyond.
