A little Brazilian cricket named Zaz dreams of singing in New York. After hopping a ride on a womans fruit hat that takes her from her homeland to Manhattan, she meets a savvy fly named Buster who brings her to the Swing Caf on East 54th Street. Everyone there speaks a common language, called Swing, and Zaz is inspired to take to the stage, sing from the heart, and deliver the performance of a lifetime. The picture book with accompanying CD offers the narration of the story with a stellar compilation of swing era standards along with stunning lavish illustrations.
