Pokko and the Drum by Matthew Forsythe

The description of this book from the 2019 NPR Book concierge made this book sound fun and the cover is delightful so I requested this book from my library. I did NOT regret it. With sly humor (I giggled at more than one depiction of Pokko) and beautiful pictures, readers will adore the story of Pokko's whose parents' "biggest mistake" was giving her a drum.
