Illustrated by
Ted Rand.
After asking her great-grandfather about the song he's singing, Brenda Gail learns that his "mountain song" is made up of bits of his memories of life. Brenda Gail realizes that she can think of memories for her own song. An old-fashioned and more rural Kentucky is seen, heard, and tasted in the illustrations--dusty dog, creaky porch, homemade strawberry jam, and all.
