Get out your instruments, this book is interactive. Entire songs built to played by guitars, pianos, ukuleles, and more fill out this bright collaboration between Oakland youth and local musicians. Songs include "Corona, Go Home," "Explore the Whole World, "and "Beautiful Brilliant Girl."

From the publisher: “In the summer of 2020, Chapter 510 & the Dept. of Make Believe paired nine elementary school students with nine Oakland musicians. Led by teaching artist Tiffany Golden, the students in Song & Story Camp wrote original songs that were composed and recorded by their professional musicians. The young songwriters bemoan the global pandemic, dream of a peaceful planet, and celebrate their strongest selves. Hope reigns supreme. This songbook contains the eleven songs written by these Oakland youth.”
