A night of music and dancing at the Community Center on 59th Street brings everyone, young and old, together; but someone very important is missing – the piano player.  Read and sing along to an American classic as the unassuming and quite extraordinary, Henry, saves the night for everyone.

This delightful musical story was written especially for reading groups, and includes large-type song lyrics to “Fly Me To The Moon”  for a sing-along at the end of the story.  Live or recorded music can enhance the experience.  Participants can be invited to dance.  Feet tapping, hand clapping and body swaying are all signs of engagement.

The story is written and formatted  to be inclusive of individuals in the later stages of dementia.
