Book
Make a pretty sound : a story of Ella Jenkins, the first lady of children's music / by Traci N. Todd ; illustrated by Eleanor Davis.
"Ella Jenkins is considered the first lady of children's music. At a time when children's music was mostly novelty songs and movie soundtracks, she believed that music could be a powerful tool to teach. From the very beginning, she believed that a child's natural curiosity and good nature could be fed by introducing them to the folk rhythms, music, and dance of cultures from all over the world. This book tells Ella's story from the time she was a young child, first learning about music through her Uncle Flood playing harmonica, to her encounters with racial discrimination, and finally her involvement with the folk music movement and her discovery that music could be a powerful tool to teach children and bridge cultures, leading her to perform and work with children on all seven continents (including Antarctica!)"-- Provided by publisher.
