2018 Caldecott Honor Book, Newbery Honor Book AND Coretta Scott King Honor Book!The barbershop is where the magic happens.

That crisp yet subtle line makes boys sharper, more visible, more aware of every great thing that could happen to them when they look good: lesser grades turn into As; girls take notice; even a mother

Change Sings
I love Amanda Gorman's poetry and couldn't wait to get this book. I've written a little song to go with it and added some Orff instruments. I suggest you find some un-pitched percussion to add to it, maybe egg shakers, maracas, claves or giro, or small hand drums on the beat. It would also be great with ukuleles - only needed the chords F and C. I usually teach the song first, read the book with the song (I usually sing as I turn each page), then teach the instrument parts and put them toge
