Abstract

An old lion found a lost violin on the plains. Then, they practice while learning ``music'' from an old grasshopper. The music flows across the plains, and before you know it, all kinds of animals gather and it becomes a big party. Then, something unexpected happened to the party, and the barren plains returned to a rich plain with lush grass. This is a picture book that talks about the power of life through music.
