When Noah hears beautiful piano music sweeping through the station, he longs to play. Without a piano
of his own, he carefully crafts one out of paper, and the notes fill his head night and day.
Until finally, with the help of a neighbour, his musical dream comes true . . .
An inspirational picture book about the power of perseverance and music, celebrating the joy that railway station pianos can bring to all.
