A girl dreams of being able to play the drums. But on her island, only men and boys are allowed to play this instrument. Her longing for the sound of the congas, bongos and timbales is so strong that she hears and feels the rhythm of the drum all around her and within her. Her dreams are filled with her passion for creating rhythmic music and making music together with her sisters.
But the warnings of the adults force her to drum in secret at first. Following her deep desire, her father arranges for her to be trained by a music teacher. Encouraged by her talent, she learns the art of drumming. She enchants her audience and breaks the conventions of the island. From now on, girls are also allowed to play the drums.
Like drum beats, each syllable of this poetic text accompanies the reader on the journey of the little drum dream girl. Based on a true story from Cuba, this colorfully illustrated story shows girls and boys that they can dream without limits

We love it because
We really like the story. It encourages children to hold on to their dreams and wishes, to stand behind them and not to let themselves be dissuaded from them. But it also shows that everyone can and should learn everything and be able to do everything... regardless of whether they are a girl or a boy. Conventions and established thought patterns are questioned, broken through and overcome, and hope, dreams and courage are strengthened!
The illustrations are very colorful and bright.
About the publisher
The gratitude publishing house was founded in 2019 by the actress, speaker and author Dayan Kodua. It stands for the communication of diversity and empowerment through stories and is one of the few publishers that exclusively publishes books with BPoC heroes. By identifying with these diverse heroes, children and young people of all backgrounds should be encouraged to discover their own potential. In this way, the gratitude publishing house actively contributes to a diverse German literary landscape and a positively developing society.
At the same time, gratitude publishing house wants to help BPoC newcomer authors and illustrators gain more visibility. Because it is already difficult for a person who has been part of the white majority society since birth to gain a foothold in the literary world, for BPoC authors and illustrators it means a completely different kind of struggle, it requires a different kind of courage to achieve the same goal. gratitude publishing house recognizes this and wants to give precisely these people the opportunity to reach children and young people with their words or pictures.
