Somebody to Love: The Story of Valerie June's Sweet Little Baby Banjolele

Valerie June Hockett is ethereal, full of love and light. 💕⭐️ A master storyteller, singer/songwriter, performer. If you ever have the opportunity to see her perform live, don’t think twice about it, just go! Her energy is infectious, and she will leave you feeling full of joy and appreciation for life and in awe of her phenomenal talent!

Creating music, much like every art form, takes patience and time. Sometimes the inspiration comes when you least expect it!📖 Valerie June received a very special birthday gift. A beautiful round face with four young strings ready to strike a tune! A new best friend for Valerie June for she loved to sing. Practice as she may and try as she might, the little banjolele just couldn’t carry through a full song. Being mocked as a toy left her frustrated and sad, so Valerie June rests her baby banjolele in the corner.📖 The days turn into weeks and the dust starts to collect but sweet little banjolele refuses to be forgotten! Waking everyone up in the middle of the night and clearing the dust from her strings, the baby banjolele belts out the sweetest of songs. Valerie June has finally realized the full potential of her banjolele and the two were never parted again.📖 With lovely illustrations paired with an inspirational story, you and your little reader will enjoy sharing this story together!

This book is inspiring for all of us to follow out dreams and is beautifully illustrated! As a mom and an elementary school teacher I highly recommend this book as a gift for any child in your life. :)

Really beautiful book, but expensive for a children's book! Story is kind of long too for even an 8 yr old.

Reading enjoyment ... Adding to my personal library book collection ... We love this music artist (Valerie June) ... We are a music fan.
