Jessica Joins the Band

"That's too hard for you..." "You need two hands..." "You might fail..."

Wouldn't things be boring if we gave up at the first hurdle?

Jessica is trying out for the school band and she's very excited. Jessica loves music and she's always dreamed of playing the drums. She's even been practising at home on pots and pans using a wooden spoon!

But when she gets to school, her friends say that you need two hands to play the drums. Can Jessica find a way to make playing the drums work for her?

Jessica Joins the Band is an uplifting story about resilience, creativity and embracing what makes us different.
