Quiet. The concert is beginning. The notes follow one after the other with elegance and grace except for one A note filled with wanderlust yearning for escape. There is no place for her on the sheet music! She hops onto the piano. She leaps. Black keys, white keys, do, re, mi and the little note lifts off into the night. So begins Hlne Druverts new book, the latest in the series that has so far included Paris Up, Up and Away and Mary Poppins Up, Up and Away. This book joins a runaway musical note as she soars out of the orchestra and into the New York night. Druverts intricate lasercuts and delicate illustrations show the Big Apple and its sights at their very best, and offer a wonderfully imaginative introduction to the city and its music.

An adventurous and curious musical note flutters out of a concert at Carnegie Hall to see what else might be happening in New York City... Druvert employs lyrical verses...creating images that soar along with the music. Inventive, detailed illustrations in blue-gray, black, and white, along with one shining, golden trumpet, alternate with, and provide depth for, breathtaking, incredibly delicate and intricate laser-cut black pages, enriching the sweet, slight tale...; An amazing, glorious experience.
