The book tells the story of how music was first written so others could learn and share.

“Do-Re-Me” is a song that many people know from “The Sound of Music.” Through this book, children and adults learn about music and the history behind written music.

“Music has so many wonderful components tied to literacy. Reading, writing, speaking, listening, and thinking are all key components of literacy, which helps us to communicate effectively and to make sense of the world around us,” said LLF Michigan Founder and President Nancy Seminoff. “This is a lovely story with colorful images that both children and adults can enjoy.”

LLF Michigan will be stopping by additional libraries throughout the week to share the new book. The community is encouraged to visit their local libraries to continue reading.

Negaunee Public Library Director Jessica Holman receives a book from LLF Michigan as part of its extended Giving Tuesday efforts.
