Our Joyful Noise

A joyful, jazzy picture book following a Black family through a week of shared moments and simple pleasures, woven through with hidden musical jewels from spirituals and songs. We move to the sounds that FLOW through our days. Soft sounds, low sounds, LOUD sounds, slow sounds. Joyful, NOISEFUL, soulful sounds. OUR sounds. For this loving family, each moment of the day is filled with music, from the moment they wake to the sound of Mama humming them into a happy day as she plop plop plops berries into oatmeal, to bedtime when Daddy soothes them to sleep, strong hands smoothing brows, warm and slow, sweet chariots swinging low.
