Centering creators and musicians of varying age, skin tone, and traditional dress, Safers naif-style multimedia art gives fitting nod to folk traditions featured in this wide-ranging survey of musical instruments that spans centuries, continents, and cultures. * Publishers Weekly *

In this richly illustrated and engaging exploration of the origins of musical instruments, each section focuses on a specific material, such as rocks, clay, gourds, silk or strings, and even human voices. * The Horn Book Magazine *
