On Our Way! What a Day!

PRAISE FOR GRANDMA'S TINY HOUSE, BY JANAY BROWN-WOOD:
   * “A warmhearted tribute to the messy joys of a big, impromptu gathering.” —PW STAR

PRAISE FOR JAM, TOO? by JANAY BROWN-WOOD:
    * “A cumulative story with rhythm, rhyme, and a bopping bunch of percussionists. . . . Each percussion instrument has its own onomatopoeic sound that undulates across the pages as the beat variations grow. . . . With nearly singable text, this tale beckons readers to move. A fantastic book-jam that delights the ear just as much as the eye.” —Kirkus STAR
    * “Readers can clap, tap, and drum along to a rhythmic jam session in this joyful seaside introduction to percussion. . . . The 'PAT-A-PAT-A PAT PAT' of the conga, the 'SLAP-SLAP. TIP-A-TAP' of the djembe, and other onomatopoeia ripple through Brown-Wood’s rhyming, irresistibly rhythmic verse, immersing readers in the percussive experience.” —PW STAR
     “Brown-Wood’s short and satisfying rhyming couplets provide a steady beat. . . . Readers will be delighted to see that while the child may not have an instrument, the young one still has plenty of rhythmic skills to share. Surely a storytime winner, this radiant picture book will keep kids coming back to move and groove in their community.” —BCCB
     "This entertaining cumulative tale demonstrates the rhythmic power of music to bring people together in friendship." —Booklist
