From the Bug Band world of Jitterbug and Goth Moth comes another heartfelt story about staying true to yourself! Music is taken seriously in the Longlegs family. There is only one right way to play an instrument, incorrect notes are not tolerated, and dancing is not allowed.

The creators of Jitterbug and Goth Moth have created another heartwarming story that encourages all readers to follow the music inside of themselves.
