A Tuba Christmas

32 pp. | Sleeping Bear | September, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58536-384-1 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Reaves Uhles. Soft, cozy watercolors provide a realistic backdrop for this sweet secular Christmas story about finding your voice. Ava's family doesn't think she'll stick with the tuba, but she's motivated to continue as she practices for a surprise Christmas concert. The text, suitable for reading aloud, balances dialogue and narration. An author's note discusses "Tuba Christmas" traditions and interesting facts about the lesser-appreciated instrument.
