– Kids’ Book Review
“A beautiful children’s book about two young string players living in an apartment building. One plays the violin, one plays the cello. They play alone. Until, one day, everything changes… Celebrate the joy of friendship and the magic of music in this glorious story that also features an original duet for young musicians to play! A great Christmas present for little ones”
– Sydney String Centre
“I absolutely loved this one. It's about a boy and a girl who live in neighbouring apartments but never meet, as one plays the violin and the other the cello. What happens next is a sweet discovery that music is better shared! An added bonus is the book's accompanying musical score by Alexander Lau.”
