  As a young boy, Harish hears and feels the music of the Thar Desert, all around him: 
   
  “When the khamaicha thrums  
  and the dholak drums 
  and the boy’s feet tap 
  and his fingers sway … 
  it is softly … softly, so no one sees.” 
   
  Harish knows the line between what men and women should want, and he keeps it in sight. 
   
  But when Harish’s family suffers loss, he finds himself in charge of two sisters, in charge of making money. And so he begins to dance publicly, in the bright colors and kohl rimmed eyes of the god Krishna … and in the rhythm-making anklets and the swirling costumes of the female Rajasthani dancers he so admired. 
   
  A new persona is born. 
   
  The path of Queen Harish to stardom is not without trial, but it is one of bravery and fearlessness. A story of triumph and inspiration. Something to sing about out loudly, proudly, so everyone can hear.

  Just Jerry - How Drawing Shaped...

  Jerry Pinkney

  An inspiring memoir of one of the most acclaimed children’s book illustrators of all time, sharing the story of a young artist who finds the courage to follow his passion against all odds. Jerry’s vivid recollections and lively sketchbook drawings of his youth in postwar America tell an inspiring story of how a hardworking boy pursued his passion in less-than-ideal circumstances and became a legendary artist against all odds. The audiobook includes a PDF of the sketches found in the book -- composed in a way that differs from Jerry’s intention but still captures his goal. Jerry Pinkney drew everywhere, all the time. It was how he made sense of the world—how he coped with the stress of being a sensitive child growing up in crowded spaces, struggling with a learning disability, in a time when the segregation of Black Americans was the norm. Only drawing could offer him a sense of calm, control, and confidence. When friends and siblings teased him about having the nickname “Jerry” as his only name, his mother always said, “Just ‘Jerry’ is enough. He’ll make something of that name someday.” And so he did, eventually becoming one of the most celebrated children’s book illustrators of all time and paving the way for countless other Black artists.

  One stop becomes two stops which soon becomes ten, and Musa wonders when it will end: “How can any more people get in? We’re already smushed like sardines in a tin!” But there's always room for one more—if you make the room—which is the heartwarming takeaway from this bouncy, joyous tale in rhyme.
