From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-A hymn to the transforming power of music. Nina's father is the best fiddler she knows-"The best in the whole state. In the whole country." Early one morning, the two of them leave for a fiddle contest that offers a first prize of $200, money the family desperately needs. Her father plans to play "Nina's Waltz," a song that he wrote for her birthday. After several wasps sting his hand and he is unable to play, Nina overcomes her own stage fright and takes his place. Demas's quiet story is accompanied by soft acrylic paintings that echo the peaceful rural setting. Graceful musical notes appear throughout, dancing serenely across purple-and-blue skies. Pair this tale with Libba Moore Gray's energetic When Uncle Took the Fiddle (Orchard, 1999).
