About the Book

In this tender, lyrical story set in the mountains of Kentucky, Brenda Gail is spending the summer with her great-grandparents. Gran Pap tells her that “everybody born in the mountains got a song inside ’em,” made of memories. That means Brenda Gail has one, too, “just waitin’ to come out.” A squabble with her troublesome cousin Melvin, in which Big Ma’s favorite hen is injured, and their reconciliation help Brenda Gail start to choose the moments that will be in her song.
Rich, poignant art from esteemed illustrator Ted Rand is paired with an atmospheric text written by a true storyteller. Kids everywhere will want to make up their own “mountain songs.”
