Children's book

Zing je mee? - Singst du mit? is a bilingual children’s book written in Dutch and German that serves as a tool for disseminating research findings. The book is designed to be child-friendly, accessible, and engaging, providing a fun and interesting way for children to learn about the findings presented in the paper ‘Singing in Semiotic Assemblages’. The story follows the protagonist, Eli, on a day at pre-school, where she encounters different peers who all engage in singing practices in meaningful ways. Eli brengt een ochtend door op de kinderopvang en uit elke hoek komt muziek! Waar zal ze het volgende liedje horen, zien of voelen? Eli verbringt einen Morgen im Kindergarten und aus allen Ecken kommt Musik! Wo hört, sieht oder fühlt sie wohl das nächste Lied?
