City Street Beat

In this cheerful and colorful tale, there is a little girl that journeys through a city that has curvy and winding roads filled with lots of people. On her journey to her friend's house they come across several different sounds and sights. People of different shades and sizes, and building short and tall. If you listen closely you can hear the sounds of high heels tipping and tapping on the sidewalk. Or the three piece music band playing strange melodies through the street. The little girl and her friend dance to the tunes of drumming and strumming. The two friends catch the sounds of hip- hop, jazz and rock-n-roll. Then at last, the two friends ended their journey as they both blew a kiss and said nighty-night. 

Two little friends grove about the streets as they grew accustomed to the buzzing music that flooded the streets. They continue their adventure through the street until night falls and then it's good night.


This fun filled, multicultural, jazzy tale is filled with much to see. It is very stimulating to the young readers' fantasy while displaying the live city life. This tale can be encouraging to meet connect with different ethnicity backgrounds and learn to love different genres of music.
