The Wind and Amanda’s Cello

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: The Wind and Amanda’s Cello 📚

“The Wind and Amanda’s Cello” by Alison Lohans is a delightful children’s story. Its protagonist, Amanda, is a young girl learning to play the cello. One day, while she is practising, a playful gust of wind slips into her cello, and suddenly the instrument begins to hum along with her music.

Although Amanda’s parents remind her to focus on practising her scales, what comes out of her cello is something entirely different. Even her teacher is puzzled — sometimes Amanda plays wonderfully, and other times the mysterious humming wind leads her into tunes that aren’t even in her book.

To discover what happens as Amanda grows and her cello needs change, you’ll need to dive into the story yourself. The book is beautifully written, with an appealing cover and charming illustrations that instantly capture children’s attention. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it to my little ones.
