Beat by Beat

Geoff’s Musical Adventure

by Auntie & Uncle

A story about marching — and drumming — to your own rhythm.

The herd grazes. The herd walks. The herd does what the herd does best.

But Geoff has rhythm tucked behind his ears and a beat tapping inside his

chest. While the other giraffes shake their heads and sigh, Geoff finds

his sticks, finds his drum, and finds his sound.

Then one stormy night, when the savanna trembles and the little ones cry,

the herd discovers that Geoff's strange, steady beat is exactly what

they needed all along.

A picture book about finding your rhythm — and the courage to play it out loud.
