Description
Mary had a little jam
while sitting on her stoop.
She felt the music fill her bones.
'Think I need a group.'
Sometimes a little music can lead to a big performance!
Fashion-forward Mary is known for adding flair everywhere she goes. One day, while strumming her ukulele, she decides to make music on a grander scale. She knows she can use her stylish talent to organise a fabulous band. Soon she's rehearsing with her friends. When the group strikes some wrong notes and chaos ensues, Mary steps up, takes the lead, and restores harmony—just in time for a big performance.
Tammi Sauer's sweet, joyful sensibilities have met their match in Vanessa Brantley-Newton's vibrant, immersive art. Together it's a symphony of storytelling!
