(3) K-3 In a poignant story, music assuages the longing a young girl named Tiny feels for her father, a blues musician who's on the road more than he's home. Wearing her daddy's hat to feel near him, Tiny one day hears her daddy's horn "inside the hat inside her head" and begins to sing. Spare pastel illustrations on deep-hued backgrounds aptly evoke Tiny's sadness and the restorative powers of music.
