From the award-winning team that created classics such as Don't Forget, All Through the Year, Tilly and Starting School, comes an exquisite, universal and captivating picture book that carries us through a child's life journey on the magical metaphor of song.

When you are born, you make up a song
It doesn't rhyme, and it isn't long
A song of everything you hold dear
It's your own tune, it's loud and clear

And your whole world is in it...

A musical journey from the time a child's life song first begins, through all its modulations, adding new verses and extra voices through the years, until it becomes their own unique composition - and one that is ultimately a part of the beautiful, grand and glistening score of the world.
