Description

From award-winning creator Susan Hood and illustrator Sally Wern Comport comes the peculiar true tale of the Recycled Orchestra of Paraguay, an orchestra made up of children playing instruments built from recycled trash.

Ada Ríos grew up in Cateura, a small town in Paraguay built on a landfill. She dreamed of playing the violin, but with little money for anything however the bare essentials, it was once never an option…until a music teacher named Favio Chávez arrived. He wanted to offer the youngsters of Cateura something special, so he made them instruments out of materials found within the trash. It was once a crazy idea, but one that would depart Ada—and her town—ceaselessly changed. Now, the Recycled Orchestra plays venues around the globe, spreading their message of hope and innovation.
