Tiny Tin Elf

Gracie loves to visit her grandfather on his farm. She helps him with chores, like putting coal into the stove. One day she makes friends with an elf who shows her a secret in the old barn. There she meets the dwarf Keynotteroom who makes her aware of a task that only she can fulfill. She is led to the loft where she discovers hundreds of instruments that have been stored away. The dwarf and elf tell her that they all belong to her grandfather who does not play music anymore because his children have moved out and his wife has passed away. Music has died on the farm and the grandfather never laughs anymore. Gracie is determined to make Grandpa laugh again. Her birthday is coming up and she asks her grandfather to bring out all his instruments. At the party he plays his instruments and is happy once more. Music has been restored on the farm and Grandpa laughs again.
