Accordionly: Abuelo and Opa Make Music by Michael Genhart

4.0

Ah, a book about music! I absolutely LOVE music, and growing up my school's library did not have enough books about it. Seeing more books now, especially children's picture books, packed full of things I loved as a kid makes me feel so good for this generation's libraries.

Our lead's Abuelo and Opa both play the accordion, and they are mighty good at it! They're from different cultures, but they are connected by music. This story is all about how two grandparents from different cultures who speak different languages connect through their love of music.

This book has an accordion in it! One of the most underrated and coolest instruments around (and sometimes the most annoying, let's be honest). And add in some yodeling and polka as well!

I also think this sweet, little, picture book has a great theme. It's not a super long book and it doesn't have much in it for education, but it's still a great story! It's for your younger readers for sure.

The cartoon-y, colourful nature of the illustrations was excellent. I really enjoyed the colour scheme and the style.

Four out of five stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and Magination Press for sending me a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
