Maurice's relatives--"a baker, a writer, a cab driver, and a gardener"--all believe he'll follow in their footsteps. But for Maurice, "the best feeling of all" comes from singing along with the city sounds. Luckily, when his family discovers his beautiful voice, they're glad to cheer him on. The illustrations mirror the movement and vitality of the busy city that inspires Maurice.
