(4) K-3 Illustrated by Deborah Lanino. Nina and her daddy head off to a fiddle competition where he'll play "Nina's Waltz," the tune he wrote especially for her. But when a wasp sting keeps him from playing, Nina, a fiddler herself, overcomes her stage fright and steps in to take third prize. While the people often appear stiff in the softly focused acrylic paintings, musical notes swirl across the pages, suggesting the transformative powers of music.
