Why you’ll love it

When Frankie’s grandmother invites him to a blues concert, he’s hesitant at first – he loves hip hop! But he can’t resist his beloved grandmother’s invitation. Little does he know, that night ignites his passion for learning to play the blues. Along the way, an afternoon in the park opens a door for Frankie that proves to be life-changing. He not only learns to play guitar, but he also discovers the roots of the blues and its profound influence on popular music.

About Our Partner

Growing up in an artistic household, Joel Harper was encouraged to express himself through music and writing. Now, as an accomplished writer, musician and music teacher, Joel supports his love of self-expression and discovery by managing his publishing house, Freedom Three Publishing, and working with various local, national, and international environmental organizations and initiatives advocating for marine conservation.

Joel has independently published four books. Restless Spirit: The Eyes of a Child (February 2003) is a collection of Joel’s poems and photographs, accompanied by guest illustrators, that illuminates his personal journey and interaction with the world around him. All the Way to the Ocean (February 2006) inspires children and adults around the world to protect the marine environment and stop pollution from entering storm drains and local waterways that we now know lead ‘all the way to the ocean.’ It has been translated into Mandarin and Spanish and recently was adapted into an animated short film featuring Marcia Cross, Xavier Rudd, Amy Smart and music by Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, and Burning Spear.
