How to Sing a Song

By Randy Preston and Kwame Alexander

Book Overview

This third book by the team that created the New York Times bestselling How to Read a Book and How to Write a Poem celebrates the magic of listening to the song that echoes inside you, and letting your music ring out.

Hush.

Now, turn up your ears

and listen

to the concert happening

all around you.

As this quiet overture builds to a full symphony, Newbery Medalist Kwame Alexander and singer-songwriter Randy Preston conduct a melody of a poem. Colorful notes are played by Caldecott Honoree Melissa Sweet's distinctive artwork.

Surrounded by nature's chorus and guided by words that vibrate like thunder, let the groove lead you on, until you can't help but sing out from your soul
