Description
A heartwarming tale of music, family, and unexpected harmony!
Like lots of boys, Kayson and his two brothers love playing sports but it's time for Kayson to widen his horizons and learn a musical instrument. With Papa as his chauffeur and cheerleader, Kayson dives into the world of piano, learning through the Suzuki method. As his small fingers dance across the keys, Kayson discovers a better relationship with his grandfather and a better understanding of the saying "practice makes perfect". But it's not all smooth sailing - a run-in with a tree before the big recital threatens to throw Kayson off-key! Can our young pianist find the courage to play on?
This heartwarming tale celebrates family and the special bond between grandparent and grandchild and shows how sharing our passions across generations can create the sweetest harmony of all. Part of a series featuring an African American family, written for children ages 4 and up.
