One day, a bear cub finds something strange and wonderful in the forest. When he touches the keys, they make a horrible noise. Yet he is drawn back again and again. Eventually, he learns to play beautiful sounds, delighting his woodland friends. Then the bear is invited to share his sounds with new friends in the city. He longs to explore the world beyond his home, and to play bigger and better than before. But he knows that if he leaves, the other bears will be very sad . . . This gorgeously illustrated tale of following one’s dreams reminds us of the value of friendship, wherever we go.

This is a wonderful story about following your passion and being brave enough to leave your family and explore your talent in a big new world. I absolutely loved the way different emotions were narrated: the fear of leaving and making your family sad, the fear of having been forgotten, the fear of making them angry, the longing for home, the uncertainty about going back, and in the end, the pride and joy of family reunion. Such a important story for kids, told in a beautiful way, and brilliantly illustrated.
