Growing up in a Blue Ridge mountain town, little Roberta didn't have fancy clothes or expensive toys... but she did have music. And she dreamed of having her own piano. When her daddy spies an old, beat-up upright piano in a junkyard, he knows he can make his daughter's dream come true. He brings it home, cleans and tunes it, and paints it a grassy green. And soon the little girl has an instrument to practice on, and a new dream to reach for — one that will make her become a legend in the music industry.
This autobiographical picture book by the multiple Grammy Award-winning singer Roberta Flack recounts how "Grown-up me lived this dream! Year after year after year!" — a dream which started with a piano that someone threw away. Here is a lyrical picture book — perfect for aspiring piano players and singers — that shares an intimate look at Roberta's special connection to music.
