It begins with a jumble of traffic noises, then the hurdy-gurdy swells into the lovely old hymn âŒIn the Sweet Bye-and-Bye.â#157; In lyrical text and watercolorsâsometimes in dramatic wordless spreadsâthis thoughtful picture book reveals not only a wartime tragedy, but a composerâ™s conviction that everyday music can convey profound emotionâand help heal a city. Young readers will understand that if they listen, music can be heard in the unlikeliest of places, from the busy chatter of a market to the wail of a fire engine.
