by Chath pierSath, illus by Vann Nath & Phal Pouriseth.
Sinat's aunt brings home a strange-looking instrument made of half a gourd and one string that is hugged to the heart to make low beautiful sounds. Captivated, Sinat longs to study with a master, but there is only one left because of Pol Pot's fearful regime.
Hear the story read on the CD and hear music played by Sinat himself and other Cambodian musicians. Cultural background in book and on CD including basic vocabulary. Older kids could discuss why the arts are targeted in dictatorial regimes. Gr 2-6.
