My alphabet of animals and musical instruments
self published
See publication“Our planet is full of animals and musical instruments, but we don’t know enough about them. My alphabet book aims to let kids and adults discover them”
"My alphabet book" is a non-fiction picture book where for each letter of the alphabet there is an animal playing a musical instrument! My aim is to introduce animals and instruments that are not so well known; for example, you will find the jerboa playing the janggu and the manatee playing the mijwiz.
