A child finds creative ways to join a beach drum circle.
On a lively beach, a child is drawn to the rhythmic beats of a forming drum circle. Enthralled by the conga's pat-a-pat and the bongos' taka taka, the child yearns to join the musical fun. But without a drum, how can they participate? As the music swells, the child discovers that creativity and passion can turn anything into an instrument. Will they find their own unique way to join the jam? Dive into this rhythmic adventure and see how music can inspire unexpected solutions.
Lustrous illustrations and a rhythmic text featuring a cumulative list of sounds bring to life the thrill of an impromptu jam session and the joy of making music together. A drum circle is forming on the beach, and one fascinated child would love to join in. Soon there’s everything from a conga’s pat-a-pat-a, pat pat to some bongos’ taka taka, ta ta–and it looks like so much fun! But what do you do when you don’t have a drum? Well, when you let the music move you, you just might find other ways to jam, too!
