Bernie's perfect cousin Herbert gets all the attention, but after Uncle Louie, "world-famous musician," teaches Bernie the trumpet, the tables turn. Uncle Louie, Bernie, and the band stun the crowd at Cousin Hannah's wedding with a rendition of "Moonlight over Manhattan" so magical it lifts them off of their feet. Color-saturated pastels enhance the magic and music of the text.
