It\'s like a modern inverse of The Giving Tree .
This picture book is breathtaking, and Zhang\'s use of color really helps the story come alive.
Zhang is a Publishers Weekly \'s Spring 2021 Children\'s Flying Starts creator and her debut, Lala\'s Words , was the 2022 EJK Award Winner, with endless praise: Little Lala helps the weeds in the vacant lot blossom into full, gorgeous plants just by talking to them and showing them a little love.
This is the next book from one of today\'s most gifted young creators.
In another inspiring and lyrical picture book that deftly dives into the psyche and heart of a child\'s viewpoint and experience, the creator of Lala\'s Words , Gracey Zhang, offers confidence to everyone who longs to master something that can be difficult and shows that there is only one way to do something right: that is to do it your own special way.
Rubin goes into the forest to practice alone and despite only getting the violin to screech, he finds an unlikely audience that loves his unique style.
But When Rubin plays, it doesn\'t sound like he imagines it should.
He wants to learn to play the violin and make his own music.
