She keeps forgetting the notes and the rhythm--it doesn't seem as if she can play at all. Her teacher says practice, practice, practice, but Ana doesn't think that will help. Even when she tries to concentrate, nothing comes out right. And then.HER PIANO SPEAKS TO HER! "My name is Henry. Henry the Steinway," he says so kindly. And, with his help, Ana knows she can learn to make beautiful music! A gentle story that will stimulate youngsters' imaginations--and encourage children to reach for their goals, no matter how far away they seem.
