Doris Joins A Band

She loves the music. Now she just has to learn to play it.

Doris loves listening to music and singing along to her favorite bands. So when she spots a sign for band tryouts, she knows this is her moment. She tries the piano, the trumpet, the violin, the kazoo, the flute, the drums, and finally picks the perfect instrument: the guitar!

But when Doris plays for her friends, the strings go TWANG and SNAP. She sounds nothing like the bands she loves, and she is ready to give up. Then a wise sloth offers her some simple but powerful advice: to be good, you must give it time and work. Inspired, Doris heads into the woods to practice, and practice, and practice some more, until the notes finally start to sound sweeter and her songs begin to take shape.

With tryout day approaching and her nerves building, will Doris find the courage to step into the spotlight and play her heart out? The second hand illustrated book in the beloved Doris series, Doris Joins A Band is a whimsical, heartwarming story about perseverance, patience, and the joy of working hard to make your dreams come true.
