Tapping on their wheelchair trays, they tell the story of their musical adventures. One day, they are in a marching band. Another, they are at the symphony.
Could their imaginations and rhythms take them…
To the ballet?
To a rock band?
Or, to a drum circle?
Where will the rhythm take them next? The musical possibilities for the two boys are limitless in this interactive story for children ages 4 to 8.
Where the Rhythm Takes Us is thoughtfully crafted, blending elements of diversity and inclusion with opportunities for children to experience distinct types of music and musical expression.
Inspired by a teacher’s accounts of her son and his friend interacting creatively at school, Jill Ostrowski wrote Where the Rhythm Takes Us.
Jill is the mother of a severely disabled son who is non-verbal and wheelchair bound, and yet there is much more to him than his physical limitations!
His ever-present smile and the twinkle in his eye tell imaginative and exciting stories.
Where the Rhythm Takes Us is Jill Ostrowski’s second book. Her first book, When I'm Asleep, I can Fly, was published by FriesenPress in December 2017.
Jill lives with her son, Owen, and husband, Jared, in Greendale, Wisconsin.
