About the book…

When Noah hears beautiful piano music sweeping through the station, he longs to play. Without a piano of his own, he carefully crafts one out of paper, and the notes fill his head night and day. Until finally, with the help of a neighbour, his musical dream comes true . . .

An inspirational picture book about the power of perseverance and music, celebrating the joy that railway station pianos can bring to all.

Written by award-winning author Rachel Ip, with artwork from award-winning illustrator Natelle Quek.

Natelle Quek is a Malaysian-born illustrator who grew up in New Zealand, and now lives in leafy Southeast England with her husband, an apathetic cat, and a loud-snoring dog.

Natelle currently focuses on children's illustration, in particular picture books, young fiction, and non-fiction. She loves to use bold colours and cinematic perspectives to draw audiences into her worlds.
