When Strum meets The Wild Turkeys, he discovers that friends can feel like family. Strum and The Wild Turkeys is a book about finding your voice through a sense of belonging and the transformational power of music.
“…A symphony to the ears and eyes. With its lyrical melodic text and colorful, expressive illustrations, this book reminds readers to rock to the beat of their own drums (or guitars) and if they are open to the possibilities, they can find belonging right under their beaks,” said Diana Maliszewski, Teacher Librarian and Media Literacy Specialist.
Released on Hardcover, April 30, 2021, Strum and the Wild Turkeys is available for purchase on Amazon, Indigo, Barnes & Noble and the book’s website at strumandthewildturkeys.com.
The colourful website also offers a few fun extras for kids such as colouring pages, a printable map, book club and a meet the band page where they can learn more about each of the fun characters in the book.
