Summary:
This kit contains the American Girl doll "Melody" and a variety of clothing and accessories. "Melody can't wait to sing her first solo at church! What song will she choose? She gets advice from her big brother, who has his sights set on becoming a Motown star, and she gets inspiration from the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Melody's also inspired by her older sister, who's home from college with new ideas about making things fair. What isn't fair is their cousins' struggle to buy a house. Melody learns that they're not welcome in certain neighborhoods because they're black. Just as Melody's ready to sing, an unimaginable tragedy leaves her silent. Can she find her voice when it really matters? NO ORDINARY SOUND, the first volume of Melody's stories about growing up in the 1960s, shows how people can come together to create social change."--Back cover of book.
