Bookroo's summary

In Venice, Gabriella hears music in everything around her. As she hums through the city, her enchanting melody touches hearts, evoking smiles and tears. But when a struggling composer hears her tune, it sparks a creative fire, leading to the birth of a magnificent symphony. What magic lies in Gabriella's song, and how will it change the lives of those who hear it?

From the publisher

In the streets and canals of Venice, Gabriella can hear nothing but sweet music. The drying laundry goes slap-slap, the church bells go ting-aling-ling, and the lire go jing-aling-ling. Soon, Gabriella is humming her way through town – and everyone hears her song! Some find it sad, others smile when they hear it – but none can forget the beautiful melody. Before long, a certain struggling composer is inspired by Gabriella’s song – and a beautiful symphony is born.
