Lovely illustrations and story

This is a wonderful picture book to read to young kids, especially if they play the violin! Hana is inspired to play the violin by her grandfather, and even enters in a talent show despite her brothers' teasing. A great story about enjoying what you do for the sake of it, and being brave!
