One Sweet Song

This story is about finding unity during the pandemic. While everyone was separated, people in Italy still gathered on their individual balconies. Neighbors showed up and shared their musicality through singing and playing instruments—they even used pots and pans to make one harmonious sound.

This charming picture book charts a musical day by counting the neighbors who join in and slowly leave the festivities as the performance concludes and night settles in. Children will enjoy this book’s diverse characters, colorful illustrations, and lyrical rhymes.
