A town built on a landfill. A community in need of hope. A girl with a dream. A man with a vision. An ingenious idea. - Baker & Taylor
Explains the origin of the "Recycled Orchestra," a group of children from Cateura, Paraguay that play instruments from recycled trash and perform concerts all over the world. - Simon and Schuster
From award-winning author Susan Hood and illustrator Sally Wern Comport comes the extraordinary true tale of the Recycled Orchestra of Paraguay, an orchestra made up of children playing instruments built from recycled trash.
Ada RÃos 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 but the bare essentials, it was never an option...until a music teacher named Favio Chávez arrived. He wanted to give the children of Cateura something special, so he made them instruments out of materials found in the trash. It was a crazy idea, but one that would leave Adaâand her townâforever changed. Now, the Recycled Orchestra plays venues around the world, spreading their message of hope and innovation. - Simon and Schuster
