Description

Bo really wants to take piano lessons like his older brother Jason. But there are two problems—his mom says he’s not ready, and his feet can’t reach the foot pedals because of his achondroplasia. But Bo knows that where there’s a problem, there’s a solution! With determination and the help of a kind teacher, Bo tackles the piano problem, and his feet and fingers finally feel the music!

For ages 5-7. From the Bo Keeps the Beat early chapter book series. Eight-year-old Bo loves music! Whether he’s drumming his fingers to the rhythm in his head, trying out new musical instruments, or starting a neighborhood band, Bo marches to his own beat. And when his achondroplasia presents challenges—like reaching the piano pedals—Bo finds a way to keep the music going!
