Spain/Latin America
The Baby Chicks (Musicmap Series)—Hyun-Kyung Youm. The
Baby Chicks is a popular song in many Spanish-speaking countries.
In this beautifully illustrated book the artist used watercolors for the
hen and her little chicks, and then created a collage for every page.
The rough edges and transparent colors add depth and movement,
so it's easy to imagine scooping up one of the fluffy chicks and
hearing its little song. The orchestra arrangement, especially the
introduction and bridge, brings to mind the sound of baby chicks
moving around the yard. These lovable chicks give their wings a
try in the Musicmap section: when children hear the oboe playing
the melody, they love to follow the chicks in time with the music.
You will find the lyrics in both English and Spanish, with an English
pronunciation at the back of the book.

Burung Kakatua (Musicmap Series)—Hyun-Kyung Youm.
Burung Kakatua is a folk song from Indonesia about the cockatoo
(kakatua) and the village grandmother who listens to it sing. The book
is illustrated with photographs of three-dimensional compositions
formed of clay. You will be charmed by the beautiful cockatoo and
surprised by the lifelike expressions on the grandmother's face as
the bird serenades her. Sing along with the children you hear on the
CD — one from the United States singing in English and one from
Indonesia singing the original lyrics. Hear the sound of the drum
during the chorus, tredung, and the call of the cockatoo during the
flute solo. Relax and let the wind carry you with the birds on the
Musicmap pages, freely making music for all to enjoy.

China
l Cai Hong Bi Fen (Rainbow Songs)—Joan Capafons. This
songbook, written completely in Mandarin, allows children to
explore, sing, and play traditional Chinese children's songs using the
colors of the rainbow. Each song is written in standard notation with
lyrics and chords and is also presented with colors instead of notes
- similar to the colors of Boomwhackers, student handchimes, or
rainbow-colored glockenspiels. This departure from Suzuki and Orff
pedagogy puts the student at the center of learning and engages
them in musical understanding through positivity and play that takes
children, whether in a group or individually, on a musical journey
through the senses. The teacher's edition includes enough stickers
to code 20 instruments.
