Everything Is Music
Whirr, whizz, and whoosh Follow a girl and her dog on a journey along city streets and nature trails as they learn that there’s music all around in everyday sounds—a symphony waiting to be heard.
When morning comes, the sounds stretch awake.
There is music in everything. Raindrops, footsteps, birds, breeze, and trees.
Can you hear it?
Join a girl and her dog on their day spent collecting sounds. They whirr past the community fountain, whizz up to a vista point, and whoosh through the bustle of city streets to a final forest crescendo.
Camouflaged in the artwork are nine instruments and numerous musical notations. Pops of color highlight the unexpected moments, creatures, and places where music hides in plain sight.
Here, in this book.
There, on the sidewalk.
Overhead, in the distance.
Listen closely . . .
Everything is music . . . to inspire your own tune.
