The first ever children' s book by music legend Willie Nelson and his sister and bandmate Bobbie Nelson! "We had so little money, but so much love. " He was a boy with a guitar. She was a girl with a piano. Raised by loving grandparents in Depression-era rural Texas, their humble beginnings playing local shows to put food on the table started Willie and Bobbie Nelson on a remarkable path to global stardom. In a story filled with details of a childhood in rural Texas-with church socials, general stores, and town dances-Willie and Bobbie weave together an inspiring story of a long-ago time. With triumphs and tragedies, hard work and determination, here is a deeply personal, gorgeously-written, and profoundly moving tale of hope.
"A personal-feeling family story that firmly reinforces the power of music as connective tissue in two country stars' lives. "-Publishers Weekly "A cute collectible. "-Kirkus
