Abandoned at the orphanage in Venice as a baby, Laura has never spoken. Her life is transformed when the composer Vivaldi unlocks her passion for music. The seasons turn, dark turns to light and miracles happen.
Carnegie award-winning author Kevin Crossley-Holland makes every word a master stroke. This short novel is exquisitely illustrated by acclaimed artist Jane Ray. Her work is inspired by Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and the real girls and boys who lived and laughed and worked in the Venetian orphanage.

This book is about a girl who can't speak but plays the flute. She lives in an orphanage. It is quite sad although it has a happy ending. I would recommend it if you like music and don't mind sad stories.

Heartsong is an exciting and a bit of an adventurous book about an orphan girl who is mute but she can play music very well.

This is an amazing book. It is very heat touching and is about a girl who could not speak but loved music. Reading this book makes me very peaceful and that is why I recommend children to read this book.
