Meet Drum tap tap, a little instrument searching to belong.
In a cozy coffee shop, Piano plink plink and Guitar pluck pluck love making music together. As their band begins to grow, new instruments join-each bringing their own unique sound. But something still feels missing.
When Drum tap tap enters the story, everything begins to change. Though Drum loves music, joining the band isn't easy. Feeling different and unsure, Drum wonders, What if I don't belong?
With encouragement, kindness, and a little courage, Drum discovers that being different might be exactly what the band needs.
The Band Family is a heartwarming and engaging story where gentle adoption tones are woven throughout.
