"In a faraway time and place, a humble musician named Simeon sets out on a quest.
Thirsting for knowledge and eager to improve his craft, he risks losing all that is important to him, including the love of his beautiful Sorrel.
The journey brings many discoveries, and though he tries hard to absorb the vast new tapestry of sounds and ideas before him, the scope of choices eventually becomes overwhelming.
Dispirited, he turns for home - and alone in the grace of nature, he experiences a series of wondrous events that lead him to the discovery of his own true self, and the glorious gift he has to offer.
Julie Andres Edwards and Emma Walton Hamilton - with stunning illustrations by Gennady Spirin - weave a magical tale with a timeless lesson about beauty, music, and the power of giving.
