Publisher Description:
Kenya's homework is to pick her favorite song and share it with her class. Sounds simple, but for Kenya, it's anything but. With all that beautiful music in the world, how can she possibly choose? Her family and friends try to help by offering their favorite songs as choices, but it's no help to Kenya. While those around her have made some great suggestions, Kenya has a hard time calling any one of them her favorite.

For inspiration, Kenya accompanies her father to the Caribbean Cultural Center where he plays music. Kenya hears music from Cuba and Trinidad, Haiti and Puerto Rico. She hears music in all different languages--French, English, Spanish. But still, Kenya can't decide which song she likes best. Finally, Kenya makes her decision--one that will surprise readers while inspiring them to listen to the world around them.
