Local Author Chari Smith will read from her book The Piano, a heart-warming tale that radiates with love for music and playing the piano. After the reading, we'll have a short piano performance and then the kiddos are free to test the piano out on their own!

This event is in partnership with Portland Parks & Rec, and includes Free Lunch & Play Program.

Free and open to all!

About The Piano:

The friendly piano is thrilled when a young musician named Katie first presses its keys. As Katie and the piano become daily companions, her musical skills grow and grow. Together they play beautiful music to match her every mood. But when Katie moves away for college, the piano is left behind, untouched and silent. What happens next helps the piano-and young readers-see learning as a never-ending cycle and music as a life-long source of joy.
