violet's music by angela johnson

illustrated by laura huliska beeth

when violet was a baby just a few hours

old

[Music]

she banged her rattle against the crib

hoping others in the nursery would join

in

boom shake b*at shake

all day long violet played that rattle

could she find other babies to play

along

no

she couldn't

but she'd keep looking violet played her

music all alone

[Applause]

on violet's second birthday

aunt bertha brought gifts and a box full

of paper crayons glitter and glue to

make horns that would wail

violet tooted from morning till that

night

all day long

she tried to get everyone to toot with

her all day

oh yeah

violet blew that horn

could she get her family to play with

her

no

she couldn't

but she'd keep on looking

[Applause]

violet blew her horn all alone

[Music]

violet wondered in kindergarten if there

were other kids like her

who dreamed music thought music all day

long

[Music]

[Applause]

but she found that some liked to paint

some like to paste

others like to play in the sandbox

and still others just like to stand

around eating paste

no one wanted to play music all day long

[Applause]

one day at the beach violet played with

a badminton racket a pretend guitar

hoping someone would join in

violet played guitar

could she find a fellow guitarist buried

in the sand

no

she couldn't

but she'd keep looking

violet played her guitar all alone

with violet you see it was music all the

time

breakfast time

dinner time

bath time

and all times in between

whenever she walked down the street or

hid behind the market's vegetable bins

or sat on the fire escape

violet was always looking for kids like

her

could she find them at the zoo

nope

at the museum

too quiet

and forget about the dentist

but she'd keep looking

violet and her music

always looking

until

one day a few summers later

violet was playing her guitar a real one

now in the park

twang twang yeah yeah twang twang yeah

when over by the fountain someone

started b*ating a drum

then behind the jungle gym a saxophone

blew real smooth

and over beside the flower garden

someone started to sing

now angel randy and juan are in violet's

band

and if you ask any of them whether they

thought they'd find each other

they'll say

oh yeah we did we knew we would

because when we were in the nursery

[Music]

then were two

and later in kindergarten and at the

beach

we kept on looking for kids playing

music too

on finding other kids who like to play

music yeah

shaking her rattle
