A girl sings "La" alone. She appreciates the sound but wants accompaniment. She tries singing to a tree ("La La La"), to a plant ("La La?"), and finally to the moon, which ultimately answers her song ("LA! LA! LA!"). This practically wordless book--featuring leaf- and light-speckled outdoor scenes rendered in watercolor, ink, and digital techniques--has much to say about collaboration and persistence.
