This week, we are featuring some of our newer picture books in our collection. In Phillipa Soo and Maris Pasquale Doran’s Piper Chen Sings, Piper Chen is no stranger to singing. In fact, she sings all the time—riding her scooter to school, to her loyal stuffed animal audience, and even while her grandmother, Nǎi Nai, cooks. However, when her teacher asks if she wants to perform a solo for the school musical, Piper starts to feel butterflies in her stomach. Piper thinks she will be too nervous to perform, until Nǎi Nai says that she feels butterflies too! With the help of her grandmother, Piper finds the courage to embrace the butterflies and courageously sings at the musical. This heartfelt picture book’s lyrical text and wispy illustrations helps empower young readers to sing to their heart’s content!
