This wonderful tale is about Willie–a boy who taps, drums or thumps to express the music he feels inside. Willie dreams of playing the African instruments of his ancestors that his Grandpa describes: guedras, ecasas, atumpan and dundun drums. Readers will be captivated by Willie's spirit and will delight in his success. This inspirational book will not only entertain, but enrich readers with the beauty of a culture. Katherine Roundtree's exquisite illustrations add tremendous warmth to this magical story.

Book for Kwanzaa
I purchased this book to use in my 5th grade class during December when we talk about Kwanzaa. It is a very good book for the intermediate level. The story is wonderful and the illustrations are beautiful- very colorful. The spirit of the holiday definitely comes through.
