Music, Music for Everyone Audiobook Summary

Rosa’s grandma is sick and must stay upstairs in bed. And so the big chair in the living room is often empty. And the money jar–in which the family saved their change to buy the big red chair and Rosa’s accordion–is empty too. All extra money must be used to take care of Grandma.

After school Rosa and her friends Leora, Mae, and Jenny often make music for Grandma. She says their playing makes her feel like a girl again, dancing at a party. And that is the beginning of Rosa’s wonderful idea.

A kaleidoscope of emotions–joy, sadness, merriment, and love–bursts from the pages of this exuberant book.

Summary: "Rosa organizes her friends into the Oak Street Band in order to earn money her family needs because of her Grandma's illness....Community, family and personal triumphs converge, making unforgettable music for everyone."Genre: Fictional Picture BookReading Level:Fluent, This book is fluent because it has paragraphs on each page. The font is small and there are lots of words on each page. There are tricky words within the book such as: accordion, squeezed, and beautiful. Also the illustrations add to the book but they do not help the reader to know what the story is saying. Topic:Making a band with your friends, helping out your familyCurriculum:Read-Aloud for grades 2-3, it would also be a great read aloud in music class. Social Issues: The importance of music in a young child's life. Diversity in the world because this is a hispanic family.Literary Elements: Uses descriptive text such a big, long tables all pushed togetherIllustrations & Text: The illustrations in this book are very colorful and bring to life the hispanic culture within the book. The text and the illustrations work together at telling the story.

This is a good book about a little girl who wants to get money to put in their jar, it was empty because her grandma got sick and her mom needed the money for her grandma. So it was really cool to see how this little girl really cared and tried helping her grandma.

I loved the fact that this is a sequel to "A Chair for my mother," a story I read as a child. I love the grandmother granddaughter relationship illustrated in this book.

This is a sequel to "A Chair for My Mother," which I also love. This story has such good messages about having good friends, working hard, and being loyal to your family.
