​This is one clever book! It blends inspiration, music, and the word ‘because’ to lead you through a story.
 
Because Beethoven was inspiring, Franz Schubert wrote his Symphony #8 in B Minor. Because leads some musicians to an orchestra to a performance. But because of a cold, something unexpected and wonderful  happens to a little girl.
 
A clue – sheet music begins the story, Symphony #8, and sheet music ends it with, The Cold. Here’s the link: “The Cold” by Hilary Purrington
