We Light Up the Sky with Music!

by Nick Maland (Author)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

This tender tale of showing care to a loved one will resonate with anyone who has ever found joy and purpose in music.

Old Bear sits inside, staring at gray skies. He hasn't gone outside in quite a while. So Little Bear decides it's time for a walk! The weather is windy and Old Bear isn't thrilled to be outdoors, but Little Bear coaxes him, "Let's walk a little further." Then, suddenly, a curious noise catches both of their ears--an old saxophone lying in the alleyway!

Can it be restored?

Perhaps a bit of good company and teamwork is just what Old Bear could use to find his groove again.
