About this audiobook
Rosa's grandma is sick and must stay upstairs in bed. And so the big chair in the living room is often empty. And the money jar--in which the family saved their change to buy the big red chair and Rosa's accordion--is empty too. All extra money must be used to take care of Grandma.
After school Rosa and her friends Leora, Mae, and Jenny often make music for Grandma. She says their playing makes her feel like a girl again, dancing at a party. And that is the beginning of Rosa's wonderful idea.
A kaleidoscope of emotions--joy, sadness, merriment, and love--bursts from the pages of this exuberant book.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was very nice. It was about a group of friends who each played an instrument. Rosa's grandmother is sick and is unable to be downstairs anymore. There is a money jar that they family has and it has been empty for awhile. Rosa comes up with a plan to start a band and play for money. Rosa and her friends create the Oak Street Band and play one night at an anniversary party. The money they make they divide up and Rosa immediately puts hers in the empty jar!
