An unfortunate accident takes a celebrated grand piano with a bit of a prideful streak and lands her abruptly in a junk pile. Without music or applause, the piano feels lost and uncertain of her identity.

As it happens with oddities in junk piles, people discover the broken piano and project their various needs upon her: she becomes a cat habitat, an urban garden, and even a sailor’s vessel! After an elaborate adventure of misuse, she finds herself once again forgotten and without her beloved “bravas.”

This heartfelt tale will help young readers process their lost dreams and remind them that it’s never too late to sing a new song.
