Book Guide

When Hana announces that she'll be playing violin in the school talent show, her brothers laugh so hard they nearly fall out of a tree.  But Hana doesn't let that stop her—she practices and practices, inspired by memories of the time she spent in Japan with her ojiichan, a professional violinist.  But when the day of the performance arrives, will she be able to overcome a sudden case of nerves?

From the author of the bestselling Suki's Kimono comes a celebration of music, individuality and the very special bond between a child and her grandparent.
