A girl listens to the music of her beautiful city of Venice in this meditative board book full of onomatopoeia that will have young readers swaying to the rhythm by award-winning author Candace Fleming! In the streets and canals of Venice, Gabriella can hear nothing but sweet music. The drying laundry goes
slap-slap and the church bells go
ting-aling-ling. Soon, Gabriella is humming her way through town--and everyone hears her song! Some find it sad, others smile when they hear it, but none can forget the beautiful melody. Before long, a certain struggling composer is inspired by Gabriella's music and a beautiful symphony is born.
