Goodreads

This is a really cute book. Louis, a composer, is lacking inspiration for writing a symphony when he begins to notice all the music in the noises that surround him. His cat, the street sweeper, a motorcycle, a jogger, etc. I love books that inspire people to notice the beauty and music in every day life. The illustrations are colorful and simple, and they are pocked with musical notes throughout. This book could be a great virtual read aloud followed by encouraging patrons to go out and explore the music around them. Recommended for children 3 and up.
