(3) 4-6 Ten-year-old Cadence Jolly, an introverted African American girl, lives with her loving but stifling father in small-town Pennsylvania while her mom is off pursuing singing fame. Cadence works to overcome her anxiety about using her own gifted singing voice and begins to embrace and develop her talent once the church takes notice. A strong family and community story about finding support in friendship and faith.
