The debut picture book from acclaimed, Oscar-winning actress Jessica Lange!

Jessica Lange weaves a beautiful tale in this elegant and heartfelt story about two sisters, Ilse and Adah, who are visiting their grandmother's quaint farm. Ilse and Adah agree that they need an adventure on a rainy summer day, and they quickly decide that sneaking into the old, ramshackle barn is the perfect undertaking.

When they discover a wealth of treasures, including an antique birdcage, their curiosity gets the best of them, and they ask their grandmother for the story behind these mysterious objects. As their grandmother reminisces about her journeys through Paris and Rome, and about a very special pet canary named Uccellino-Italian for "little bird"-the girls realize that they are experiencing a truly magical summer.
