About this story

Lina has promised to sing at the neighbourhood picnic in Paris, but she can’t think of a tune. Her grandfather suggests they listen. On their walk she hears a bicycle bell, the swish of the Seine and a bird’s high chirp. When the street gets too noisy, Grandpa lays out three cards: “One sound at a time.” Lina hums her tune, he plays along on his red accordion, and she sings it for the neighbours.
