Whisper Boy Sings

Zusatztext

Peter loves to sing but one day he loses his voice and a chance to sing in his school concert. That night Peter falls into a deep slumber and finds himself in a mystical world of talking animals, birds, and fairies. He is named Whisper Boy by the forest creatures who travel with him deep into the forest in search of his voice. Woven into the magical journey are eight key singing exercises that readers can try as they read Peter's story. Whisper Boy Sings! is written by Claire Everton, a voice teacher of many years who has also performed in children's musical theatre. Aimed at children aged 6 to 10, Whisper Boy Sings! highlights both the adventure that can be found in learning to sing and the delight awaiting those who find their true voice.
