Sometimes, a beautiful voice can be expressed through the spoken word rather than in song.
This is a lovely story about Amina, a twelve-year-old Pakistan American with perfect pitch. Amina’s best friend urges her to sign up for a solo, but Amina prefers to accompany on the piano.
I love that Hena Khan builds Amina’s acceptance of who she is! Uncle’s melodious reading of the Quran changes Amina’s attitude, and she and her brother agree to participate in a statewide Quran recitation competition.
But when their Islamic Center is vandalized, the community rallies, and Amina finds the courage to recite…
From Jennifer's list on middle-grade about kids making music.
