The true story behind it
This may be the very first story I wrote in the series. Babblers, those little chattering birds, are always in our backyard. They’re still there now, singing their morning song, and I think they were the first birds my son ever really noticed. In the story, Melody’s guitar breaks and she can’t sing her morning song, and the other animals miss it terribly. I found myself thinking how lonely the mornings would feel if those birds ever went quiet. Kitty and Dino help fix her guitar so the song comes back.
