This was a delightful read that could definitely brighten anyone's day. It was nice to read about a family with parents outside the conventional, and traditional, gender norms usually pushed in other books. Here the father was helping with the cleaning, and while the daughter helped with them as well the brother helped the mother in the garden. All around it subverts the idea of who should help with household duties/chores. On top of that there's something delightful in seeing this beautiful father-daughter relationship brought to life between the art and the musical writings. And it gets to be educational as well in the way that it teaches about different types of music as the cleaning progresses through the story.
