Sol Plays the World
There are times when Sol finds his emotions to be overwhelming, so he turns to a diverse collection of musical instruments to find peace. Through exploring global sounds, Sol learns to express and manage his feelings in a creative way, and he develops an inner connection to people and communities from around the world. This calming story, with unique thoughtful illustrations, demonstrates the importance music can have on our emotions and the positive effect it can have on our well-being.
