Music for all

For many people, music is an important part of our life. It’s a way of expressing our feelings and ourselves, escape the pains of real life, bring relief, reduce stress, have fun and is connected to most of our dearest memories. Music plays a more important role in our life than just being a source of entertainment.�
The two books you will choose between have the element of music in the story. With characters that either have dreams about becoming a star, or continuing the art of a recently passed friend. The authors Tiffany D. Jackson and Angie Thomas are both African-American women, with works that leave a mark when you are done reading.

As the daughter of an underground hip hop legend who died right before he hit big, Bri's got massive shoes to fill. However it's hard to get your come up when you're labeled a hoodlum at school, and your fridge at home is empty after your mom loses her job. So Bri pours her anger and frustration into her first song, which goes viral for all the wrong reasons.�
