This third book by the team that created the New York Times bestseller How to Read a Book celebrates the magic of listening to the song that echoes inside you and letting your music ring out. Written by Newbery Medalist Kwame Alexander and Randy Preston, and illustrated by Caldecott Honoree Melissa Sweet.
Hush.
Now, turn up your ears
and listen
to the concert happening
all around you.
As this quiet overture builds to a full symphony, Newbery Medalist Kwame Alexander and singer-songwriter Randy Preston conduct a melody of a poem. Colorful notes are played by Caldecott Honoree Melissa Sweet’s distinctive artwork. Surrounded by nature’s chorus and guided by words that vibrate like thunder, let the groove lead you on, until you can’t help but sing out from your soul!
