Little Dudu dreams of playing the oud, just as his grandfather and great-uncle once did in Iraq. When his grandfather believes there is no place for their music in Israel, Dudu refuses to give up. Inspired by the family story of the Al-Kuwaiti brothers and Dudu Tassa, this picture book celebrates musical inheritance and a child’s determination to bring it to life.
