I want to play and play it loud, Isn’t that what guitar is for?” Those are some of my favorite lines in the new children’s book Rosie Rocks! by my colleague and friend Dr. Sarah Gulish with fun illustrations by David Allen. @fflatbooks This inspiring story introduces us to Rosie, a young student who finds and shares her voice through an encounter in music class. It’s a story that will resonate with young students everywhere about the power of being yourself and boldly walking in your gifts! I can’t wait to see and hear the… > > — Franklin J Willis, 5/5, May 2024 > By having Ms. A. encourage and inspire her music class students to play an instrument, author, Sarah Gulish has creatively empowered Rosie to find her voice and to bravely build confidence. Once Rosie gets a guitar in her hands, she really does rock! The story is heartwarming and entertaining for all ages and David Allen’s illustrations are innovative, pairing perfectly with the author’s vision. > > — Pamela Realmuto, 5/5, May 2024 > This story is heartwarming, inspiring, and joyful. I loved following Rosie on her journey from speaking up for herself to finding the bravery to share her music with others. I think it shows kids that it's good to speak up for what you want and that through dedication and work you can make your aspirations come true. Bravery isn't always easy, there is a lot of vulnerability that goes with it, but Rosie discovers that the vulnerability is worth it in the end! The illustrations in this book are wonderful. I loved looking at the cardboard scenes, and think kids could get lots of enjoyment out… > > — Heather Kennedy, 5/5, May 2024 > I teach elementary music and my students choose instruments in 5th grade. I can't wait to read this book to them! The rhyming text is enchanting, and the artwork is so detailed - you must look at the design of the pictures! I love everything about this book. I got an e-copy of the book and can't wait to get the hard copy! Well done, author and illustrator! Can't wait to get more from this author. > > — Elizabeth Macchiarolo Shier, 5/5, May 2024 > Rosie Rocks is as sweet as it is bold and empowering! When I had the chance to try instruments as an elementary music student, the choices were limited to a violin, trumpet, clarinet, and flute. The opportunities are vast in Ms. A’s music classroom! Rosie and her classmates had a synthesizer, turntable, acoustic guitar, and even an electric guitar from which to choose! A world of opportunities for these budding musicians is opened up in Rosie Rocks! The illustrations, especially the use of black and white interspersed with color are thoughtful. The simple sketches of the students are diverse… > > — Monica Levin, 5/5, May 2024 ## Related resources - [Where Are All The Instruments?](https://fflat-books.com/product/where-are-all-the-instruments.md): $13.00 - [The Creative String Orchestra](https://fflat-books.com/product/the-creative-string-orchestra.md): $25.00 - [Chris & Frankie: Intro to Our Ebony and Ivory Keys](https://fflat-books.com/product/chris-frankie-intro-to-our-ebony-and-ivory-keys.md): $15.00 - [Priscilla Plays Percussion Teaching Guide](https://fflat-books.com/product/priscilla-plays-percussion-teaching-guide.md): $10.00 - [Rosie Rocks!
