From two–time GRAMMY® Award–winning musician Laufey comes a bewitching picture book about overcoming mistakes and believing in oneself.

Mei Mei is a little bunny with a big dream. She wants to make the world happy with her music! Her first recital at the H'Opera House is approaching, and she's been practicing harder than any bunny ever has. But the butterflies in her stomach flit and flutter.

When Mei Mei plays the wrong note in front of everyone, will she be able to find the melody to make it right?
"A reassuring riff on embracing imperfections."—Kirkus Reviews

"A fitting picture book debut...O’Hara’s dainty pencil and watercolor illustrations add a creaturely quaintness to the scenes."—Publishers Weekly
