Eleana loves music more than anything. Every evening, she taps rhythms on her school desk and sings with her little brother.

One day, her grandmother gives her small drum. "This is the Talking Drum," she says. "It speaks when you play it with love."

Eleana plays it gently, and to her surprise, the drum makes happy humming sounds.

She takes the drum to school. Her classmates gather around as she plays a soft beat that sounds like a greeting.

Soon the whole class joins, some clap, some sing, some stomp their feet. They create a beautiful song together.

Eleana realizes that music brings people together and makes everyone smile.

That evening, Eleana tells her grandmother, "The drum really talks!" Grandma smiles, "And now, it speaks through you."

The next day, Eleana teaches her classmates a simple rhythm on the Talking Drum. Together, they start a small music club, promising to share joy with the whole school through their beats and songs.
