The Story of the Recycled Orchestra of Paraguay
by Susan Hood and Sally Wern Comport
Her poor village was built on a landfill. But Ada dreamed of one day making music. When Sr. Chavez began to teach music and recycle trash into instruments for children, lives changed and The Recycled Orchestra was born. It now performs all over the world to sold-out audiences. The illustrations capture how a community's anguish turned to joy in this true story, retold for children, with historical notes.
