Written and Illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds

A pitch-perfect tribute to the power of music and the bonds of family.  A reminder not to stifle creativity but to let it flow!

In this book, a young boy begins to play on his family’s piano, reveling in the fun of plunking the keys.  Then he is signed up for music lessons so he can play properly.  With his father’s encouragement, Raj learns notes, then scales, then songs, and finally classical pieces that his father can recognize and be proud of. But the more Raj practices and the more skilled he becomes, the less he enjoys playing, until he grows up and stops playing altogether. But when his father becomes ill and asks Raj to play for him, will Raj remember how to play from the heart?
