About this title

Synopsis

When the animals get together in the jungle, they discover that the noise they have been making is indeed music. Celebrated author and master storyteller Dylan Pritchett, past president of the National Association of Black Storytellers, weaves a whimsical tale that helps us discover that we all have music inside just waiting to come out when the time is right. This original award-winning story is based on the model of traditional African folktales. The rich illustrations painted by Erin Banks, enhance Pritchett's lyrical prose.
