In this wordless book, a music conductor, from his perch atop a tall tree, awakens the leaves. They turn into birds and swirl across the pages, finally settling back as the conductor plants his baton like a seedling. The striking art invites readers to think about music, nature, and creativity, but the story has limited child appeal.
