À propos de ce contenu audio

 A joyous celebration of drums, heartbeats, and the bond between mother and child, by acclaimed African American musician Randy Preston

Bass drum, steel pan, snare . . . is there any kind of drum this little boy’s mom can’t play? For as long as he can remember, drums have been a big part of their life together. And whether in the living room, the park, or the concert hall, he loves grooving with her. There’s something so soothing and special in the beat of each and every drum, which makes him wonder, what was the very first drum he heard?

With rhythmic language mimicking the sounds of drumbeats and joyful illustrations illuminating the feeling of connection they create, this is a unique celebration of music—and motherhood—that families will treasure.

Commentaires

“Can you remember the first drum you ever heard? Was it a bass drum—'bump bump bump’? Or a snare: ‘clunk a clunk clunk’? . . . Preston suggests that it was something more familiar: the steady, comforting ‘lub dub / lub dub’ of your mother’s heartbeat. A Black parent and child move through this rhyming story in a joyful, fast-paced drumming adventure. One moment, they’re pounding a bass drum in the living room; the next, the mother is onstage behind a full drum set while her child cheers from the audience. Their musical adventure continues as they beat drums while dancers whirl; later, the pair tap steel pans at a lively street festival. The thread of connection remains strong through the shifting settings, capturing both the excitement of performance and the warmth of making music together. Midway through, the narrative takes a sudden quieter turn, focusing on the beat of the mother’s heart as a baby grows and later carries that rhythm through life. . . . Its sweet message lands: Love, music, and identity are all tied to an inner beat. Bold digital illustrations evoke colored pencil and watercolor, with vibrant colors and energetic compositions that pulse with movement. Backmatter adds interest with notes on the drums featured in the story. A heartfelt celebration of rhythm and motherhood.” —Kirkus Reviews
