Put Your Records On by Corinne Bailey Rae

This picture book follows Bea as she visits her great aunt Portia and discovers a hidden attic full of records. Portia shows her that there is a song for every feeling, and together they listen, dance, and explore how music can match different emotions. Based on the song “Put Your Records On” by Corinne Bailey Rae, the story is warm and uplifting. It shows how music can help people express feelings and connect with others.

I recommend this title as an additional purchase for elementary libraries. It is a good read-aloud that helps students understand emotions through music.
