Today, we’re going on a melodic adventure, exploring the magical world of music notes. “When Step Met Skip” is a delightful tale about two characters with very different ways of moving through the world.
Brought to us by musician and author, Vicky Weber, Step is methodical and precise, moving carefully from one note to the next. Skip is bouncy and free-spirited, and loves to jump over other notes with excitement. Together, they will learn that sometimes the most beautiful music happens when different notes work together!

Why This Story Matters
This charming tale offers children a perfect metaphor for understanding harmony. Through Step and Skip’s journey, young readers learn that:
- Different approaches can complement each other
- Compromise creates beautiful new possibilities
- True harmony comes from respecting differences
- Working together often leads to unexpected joys
Post Reading Discussion
- Ask children which character they relate to more – are they a “Step” or a “Skip”?
- Have children practice both walking styles and then try to create a movement that combines elements of both
Step and Skip discovered that they could create beautiful harmony together. Some of us march steadily like Step, while others might bounce and hop like Skip, but when we appreciate each other’s special qualities, we can create something truly magical.
Enjoy!
