Bookroo's summary

A young boy's world shifts when his father disappears and his mother falls ill. Amidst the turmoil, he discovers the power of music to connect with cherished memories and find peace. As melodies transform into vibrant colors and light, he learns to embrace hope and dream anew. Will the music help him heal and find his way forward?

From the publisher

The music turned into color and light and filled the room. A young boy remembers quietly watching his father read the paper and sip a cup of coffee. He remembers his sweet momma, who lovingly pressed away the wrinkles on his clothes. Then one day, his father is gone and his momma falls ill. But through his love of music he feels his father’s warm hugs and his mother’s kisses. He learns to relax, shine, and dream as the music fills his soul. From four-time Caldecott honoree Bryan Collier comes a moving and gorgeously illustrated exploration of healing the soul through music.
