About the Book

Piper Chen loves to sing, but when she’s asked to perform a solo at her school’s Spring Sing, doubt creeps in. With butterflies dancing in her belly, Piper turns to her Nai Nai, who shares her love of music. Together, they find a way to calm her nerves and let Piper’s voice shine. While reading, listen for the playful sounds of plates and chopsticks when Piper enjoys jiǎozi, and the soothing piano melodies that fill Nai Nai’s room.
