“And that night, someone else was changed. That is how it happens. “

I would use Because by Mo Willems in my classroom to help students explore their interests and find inspiration from the past. For example, if a student enjoys art, they would research influential artists.

This story celebrates the power of music and inspiration and reflects on how past musicians‘ achievements motivated her to create her music. The illustrations capture her growth, making her journey feel inspiring. Through her music, the story encourages readers to find their inspiration and pursue their passions.

A day late, but my favorite hot take for better than the original is the live 10,000 Maniacs cover of Patti Smith's Because the Night. I love Patti Smith, but I think there's something about Natalie Merchant's voice that matches the song so well. The productions of the MTV Unplugged series from the 90s were very well done, and this one is no exception: the whole concert is fantastic.

Great idea @ljuliel!

I like the idea of this book. Because one thing happens it leads to another. That is the main concept and it all starts because Mozart wrote music.

Loving the diversity in the pages of this picture book!

I will read anything Mo Willems writes. So I immediately requested this from the library when I saw it was released. This is NOTHING like most of his other books. But oooooohhh.. all the feels. I was teary eyed by like the second page. So gorgeous!!! I‘m about to listen to the composition now.

A book about the confluences that lead one little girl to discover her passion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
