A wonderful story that holds your attention. This story about a young child who grows up in the mountains with mostly only his dad for company, learns from his dad how to play the violin and how to make the violin play exactly how he feels about what he sees. This child learns to appreciate everything including the bugs, flowers, everything in life. So as the child grows he shares his insight with those around him, through his music and his way of thinking and helps them see life around them as well. He was a God send to a sleepy little town near his mountain. The reader did a great job reading the story.
Great!

I really enjoyed this story. I can tell it shared an author with Pollyanna because the storyline is similar, but it is still very enjoyable! The reading is nicely done at an even pace with slight variations from character to character that help carry the story. I would definitely listen to it again!
A MASTERPIECE to me.!

Such a precious book. This is one to save for when the grands visit. We like to listen to books together (I.e. Around the campfire or slumber parties).

this is one of my favorite books of recent finds. I decided to take a chance even though it looked to juvenile for an adult. not so if we could learn to live more like David our lives would be great. It is also well read.
Purely sweet

This is a sweet story that warms the heart. David teaches many life lessons. If you love old fashioned classics that are moral and pure, you'll love this book! Along the lines of Spyri's Heidi. The reader has a very pleasant voice. Nice to listen to.
