A Caldecott Honor Book! A joyous celebration of family, community, and
the unifying power of music, perfect for fans of Last Stop on Market
Street.
Nic is an aspiring musician whose life spans two different worlds--his
suburban school where he wows his friends in orchestra, and the busy
city streets of his home where he's jostled by the crowd. Nic makes his
way home from a busy day at school with a double bass on his back, the
symphony of his surroundings in his heart, and a sweet surprise for the
reader at the end of his journey. This is a sweet, melodious picture
book about how dedication, music, and family can overcome any obstacle.
