About The Book

A search for a place to play leads three musicians to an inspiring new mentor in this rhythmic and energetic picture book.

Kicked out of Yock’s apartment building because they are too loud, three young friends—two boys and a girl—search for a place to practice their music, until they are welcomed into the home of Mr. Moses “Bass” Smith, an old musician, who joins in as they play.
