This was a cute book. It is very easy and simple to r4ead. I would recommend this for kids who are struggling to read longer books. I would have this in my classroom only for the kids that need easier books to read to help them learn how to read chapter books.

This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of how a young girl becomes a composer. Her journey started with just one small act and it led her on an amazing journey. Readers of all ages will appreciate seeing how just one small act can change a person’s life. The cause and effect relationships portrayed in this story remind us of how all of our actions have a ripple effect and can make a big difference in someone else’s life.
