MyaGrace Wants to Make Music
by Jo Meserve Mach, Vera Lynne Stroup-Rentier
In MyaGrace Wants to Make Music, a young girl with disabilities shares her favorite activity. She loves to go to her weekly piano lesson! Everyone in her family plays a musical instrument and she wants to learn how to play so she can join them for family music time.
MyaGrace is fun and sweet as she shares her thoughts and hopes. Her emotions distract her at times, but her wonderful piano teacher builds on her love for certain notes and helps her discover that she is capable of doing much more than make noise.
This beautifully photographed story captures the joy in realizing what it means to make music and to be included. It demonstrates that inclusion can always be possible when everyone is open to possibilities.
By sharing MyaGrace’s story we celebrate her many strengths and abilities. MyaGrace has intellectual disabilities and cerebral palsy.
