A young girl tries out different genres and instruments in this exuberant celebration of music, winner of the Coretta Scott King New Talent Award--now available in a special anniversary edition.

This is my family.

We all love music, begins a young percussionist.

When she plays with her father, a cellist, she taps the triangle.

With her sisters marching band, she crashes cymbals together.

At her aunts jazz show, she taps a woodblock.

Elbrite Browns lively cut-paper illustrations, for which he was awarded the Coretta Scott King New Talent Award, depict this diverse, joyous family dancing, strumming, drumming and fiddling their way through a tour of major musical styles--everything from classical string quartets, to rock and roll, to the youngest niece banging on pots and pans.

They love music--and most of all, they love to celebrate and play it together.

Includes a glossary covering types of music and instruments mentioned.
