Hana Hashimoto, Sixth Violin by Chieri Uegaki
5.0
"Ojiichan played every morning. From his study, the clear, bright notes would drift upstairs, through the shoji screen doors to where Hana slept on sweet-smelling tatmi mats, and coax her awake as gently as sunshine."
Hana's grandfather plays classical music, folk songs, and melodies inspired by nature. But Hana has only had three lessons, and her big brothers tell her that her performance at the school talent show is sure to be a disaster! In sprightly ink and watercolor art, we see Hana practice for her parents, for the dog, and in front of a photo of Ojiichan, until, with consummate courage, she takes the stage.
