The Review…
Children are encouraged to embrace their own uniqueness. A must read for the young and old. — The Birmingham Times, September 2005
Themes of individuality and self-expression translate through magnificent illustrations and smart verse; as fun to read as it is inspiring. — The Forest-Blade, June 2005
The Story…
Life for Pete, the band’s finest drummer, rolls smoothly along until total disaster strikes during the big town parade. Pete loses his beat! Ordered out of the ranks, Pete hits the road to rediscover his rhythm. Along the way, he jams with an old sax man named Gus, whose jazzy jingle helps Pete get back on beat.
Verse number one’s got a smooth, mellow flow. Changes are good. It’s through them that we grow.
Verse number two’s got a toe-tapping groove. Your beat never left. It just made a slight move.
Verse number three’s got a bouncy new sound. Play from your heart and your beat will be found.
Joe Keylon’s magnificent illustrations playfully harmonize with Stephanie Bloom’s vibrant verse to create a moving, musical journey that inspires “drummers” of all ages to march to the beat in their hearts.
