First Notes of Spring

Not Quite Narwhal meets ­­­­And Then It's Spring in this funny, charming picture book debut about marching to the beat of your own drum to create a song that wakes Spring.



Juniper can't wait to audition for the First Notes of Spring, the orchestra that melts away winter and wakes up spring with its melodies. With her strong sticks, thumpity toadstool, and rowdy rhythms, she plays with all her might. BOOMEY-BOOM-BOOM!



But Mr. Moose says there's no room in the band for her loud percussion skills. Juniper is heartbroken, until she discovers other tappers, clappers, and noisemakers in the woods. As they parade through the forest playing music together, they learn that maybe their song can wake spring too.



Watch the seasons change in this delightful picture book about being true to yourself, sure to leave readers with a spring in their step.
