A girl dreams of being allowed to play the drums. But on her island, only men and boys are permitted to play this instrument. Her longing for the sound of the congas, the bongos, the timbales is so strong that she hears and feels the rhythm of the drum everywhere around and within her. Her dreams are filled with her passion for creating rhythmic music, making music together with her sisters.
However, the warnings of the adults force her to drum in secret at first. Following her deep desire, her father allows her to receive training from a music teacher. Strengthened in her talent, she learns the art of drumming. She enchants her audience and thereby breaks the conventions of the island. From now on, girls are also allowed to play the drums.
Like drumbeats, every 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 vividly illustrated tale 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 by them, and not to be easily swayed. It also shows that everyone can learn and achieve anything... regardless of whether they are a girl or a boy. Conventions and entrenched thought patterns are questioned, broken, and overcome, while hope, dreams, and courage are strengthened!
The illustrations are very colorful and vibrant.
About the Publisher
The gratitude publishing house was founded in 2019 by actress, speaker, and author Dayan Kodua. It stands for the promotion of diversity and empowerment through stories and is one of the few publishers that exclusively publishes books featuring BPoC protagonists. By identifying with these diverse heroes, children and young people from all backgrounds are encouraged to discover their own potential. In this way, the gratitude publishing house actively contributes to a diverse German literary landscape and a positively evolving society.
At the same time, the gratitude publishing house aims to provide greater visibility for BPoC newcomer authors and illustrators.For a person who has been part of the white majority society since birth, it is already difficult to establish oneself in the literary world; for BPoC authors and illustrators, it means a completely different kind of struggle, requiring a different kind of courage to achieve the same goal. The gratitude publishing house acknowledges this and wants to give exactly these individuals the opportunity to reach children and young people with their words or images.
