So Much to Love about Bello the Cello

My heart is swelling after reading.💖 This book is relatable for any age. Ya know when you hang out with others who are more knowledgeable or skilled at a task than you are? You suffer either "imposter's syndrome" or a big drop in self confidence. You forget all the great things YOU can do. You also can't see yourself through the eyes of friends when you're down on yourself, cause if you could, you'd be able to see you are loved, appreciated and understood.

This SEL (social emotional learning) book is highly recommended for children and those who value the gentle, needed lessons of self confidence and acceptance within a beautiful, fun picture book.

I personally related to this book and will keep it out for the kid singers I work with. I have always recorded in small groups, and sometimes each kid gets their own part. I ask that they sit quietly, and watch the other two kids record, while they learn techniques. Every so often, I can see a kid is nervous about their performance (even with expected retakes) and it happens after the kid singer before them just SHINED with their own unique voice. I'm happy to report that like dear Bello the Cello, my singers always find their voice, and the pride they feel as they fist bump the other kids and me after they finish is heart swelling. Just like this book.

I have not read any other books by this Author, but I hope his others are also this good, and also contain messages we ALL need reminders of.

Oh....I forgot to mention what an amazing idea it is to feature TWO different languages on the same page. This was done in Spanish and English and really helped me learn more words than I previously knew in Spanish. Value Added.😁

OK, NOW you can go buy this book, Bello The Cello.✌🏽🎶🎨📚🌻 Stay well!

In this book, students will discover the inspiring life of Beyoncé, the chart-topping superstar. It is excellent to connect and inspire my African American population. Beyoncé was quiet as a child but always enjoyed singing and dancing. At a young age, she went to see a concert, and from that moment on, she felt inspired to perform. As well as being a performer, she is a mother, businesswoman, philanthropist, and role model for all those who want to reach for the stars.

This is a great book to introduce an African American classical music composer. It is the story of a brilliant musician who prevailed against race and gender prejudices to become the first Black woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer and performed by a major American orchestra in 1933.

I loved it on several levels.
I heard about this story on TV. I was intrigued by the life story of Florence Price and impressed with the young people who ended up researching her life, writing this book and illustrating it so beautifully! They even played her music in celebration of their discovery of her life. What a tribute to Florence Price but a legacy these young people provided the rest of us. BTW check out some of Florence's symphonies. Awesome!

This is a great way to discuss the importance of sharing your talent with other cultures around the world. Over time, Ma honed his amazing talent, and his music reflected his life between borders, cultures, disciplines, and generations.

Staying true to himself, Yo-Yo Ma performed at the US-Mexico border at the Rio Grande on April 13, 2019, as part of his multi-continent “Bach Project” tour to prove a point—through music, we can build bridges rather than walls between different cultures.
