Another note joins, and then another. One by one, curious people are drawn to their windows, doorways, and balconies to support the medley. Professional musicians play instruments from around the world, while others bang pots and pans. All are welcome as the notes swirl and dip and crescendo, coming together to make one sweet song. And when the music fades and this diverse neighborhood is once again silent, the reverberations of unity remain. Written by a kindergarten teacher and inspired by the balcony singing in Italy during the pandemic--with a countdown from one to ten and back gently woven in--this rhythmic synergy of text and art is a buoyant, global-minded celebration of how music connects us, even in the darkest of times.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJyoti Rajan Gopal \u003c\/b\u003eis a kindergarten teacher and the author of \u003ci\u003eAmerican Desi\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Supriya Kelkar, and \u003ci\u003eMy Paati's Saris\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Art Twink.\u003cbr\u003eShe was born in India but grew up all over the world, from Thailand to Indonesia to Myanmar to China.
