Strings

'Strings' is a story about a grandchild growing up with the love for music thanks to time spent with his grandfather. As the two grow older, their relationship becomes distant, but not forgotten. Events throughout the story place the grandchild in situations of mild physical or mental pain, whereby the grandfather would come with his guitar to 'play the pain away'. 'Strings' provides opportunities for children, parents, and educators to explore patterns, music, and emotion. As an added feature to the book, you can log onto the authors website to listen to the 'Strings' song to be played in the final stages of the story.
