We Are Music

From the author of Music Is... Brandon Stosuy comes a second pitch-perfect board book that's a kid-friendly music history lesson--perfect for the little record collectors in your life.

From music writer and The Creative Independent/Kickstarter Editor in Chief, Brandon Stosuy, comes a new board book called We Are Music that dives into the history of music.

It starts with clapping, tapping, and drums, and from there the music moves in many different directions. From classical to blues to jazz to country to rock to punk to rap to hip hop, there is one important thread that weaves through every song that has ever been created: us.
