A  little girl loves singing. She sings and sings until she gets the opportunity to do a solo at her school, when she suddenly gets nervous. With her grandmother’s extra help, Piper learns how to manage her nervousness and sing her heart out.

This book handles stage fright very well and can help teach kids how to manage anxiety. The diversity in the book is great, incorporating Piper's culture as one of the solutions to her problem. This book is great for young performers, nervous kids, and the rest.

The main character and her family are Chinese, and the kids in the classroom around her are diverse, as well.
