The Music Tree, Hardcover

Luke the frog is too busy to play the trumpet his grandfather sent him, and when Grandpa sends him a seed, Luke is frustrated that it is slow to grow--until it responds to the music of a band of street musicians. Luke and the musicians play until the magical tree is tall and strong, and until Luke loves playing his trumpet. This is story about patience and effort with delightful retro/folk art style illustrations.
