The Adventures Of Fredi And her Lily Pad Band

Fredi, a sax-playing frog, finds that she has a broken reed on her instrument's mouthpiece. One by one, she seeks out her band members to learn how sound and vibration work in each of their instruments. The book prominently features multicultural community, friendship, and music.

Additionally, a free download of the song, "Fredi's Cha Cha", from her latest CD, "Diggin' The Day", is available at www.marshaheydt.com under "Publications".
