Turning Recyclables into Rhythm

When a neighborhood block party is moved to a park without music, Pran and his friends set out to make their own. Their experiments with sound and recycled materials bring the engineering design process into an everyday celebration, with jazz and bhangra named as part of the musical mix. After the story, back matter adds information about sound and design, along with STEAM activities that extend the exploration beyond the page.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for children ages 4–7 interested in music, making, and hands-on discovery.

Book overview

Join Pran and his friends in an exploration of sound and the engineering design process, because STEAM is everywhere and for everyone!

Part of STEAMWORKS, a series of fiction picture books for ages 4-7 that relate science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) to kids' everyday lives.

When Pran and his friends learn that the neighborhood block party is moved to the park where it won't have music, they are determined to find a way for it to be part of the celebration. After some trial and error, and more than a few prototypes made from recyclables, they are ready to engineer their way to a jazzy, bhangra-filled day!

Extend the learning beyond the story with expertly crafted back matter, including additional information about sound and the engineering design process and fun STEAM activities.

STEAMWORKS features children of all backgrounds and abilities using scientific and mathematical thinking to solve everyday problems and answer questions that matter to them. Playful stories and extension activities ignite excitement for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) and empower children as thinkers, problem solvers, and innovators.

STEAMWORKS picture books are also available in Spanish. The Spanish title is Sonidos de basura.
