Hana Hashimoto, Sixth Violin by Chieri Uegaki

4.0

An intergenerational, multicultural story of a young girl whose memory of going to sleep at night listening to her grandfather playing to the violin on a visit to Japan, inspires her, upon returning home, to learn how to play the instrument herself (earning her some not-very-subtle chiding from her big brothers.) When she enters the school's talent show she ends up getting moral support from a friend, as well as her grandfather, who she knows would be pulling for her, she wins over her brothers with a unique performance, in this charmingly illustrated picture book.
