No War for Me!

A piano feels sad because everyone has gone off to war, but little by little, its sadness will fade away with the arrival of the violin, the trumpet and other musical friends who want to play music together for peace and friendship.
¡A la guerra yo no voy! is a picture book that transforms a subject so complex as war into a lyrical and hopeful experience for young children. Through rhythmic, playful text full of onomatopoeia, the book tells the story of a sad piano in the middle of the square, joined by a band of musical instruments. Together they form an orchestra whose celebration of sound sends out a clear, collective message: “No War for Me!”. The book also includes a QR code that links directly to the song, inviting all children to join in the singing and celebration of peace.
