Synopsis

"A reminder to stop, listen, and appreciate." - Kirkus Reviews

Isabel the mouse plays the violin and dreams about beautiful sounds. Her siblings are also musicians and they all play music together. Every day, she takes a walk in the forest, searching for sounds she doesn't know yet. During her strolls, she finds different animals and insects who play beautiful tunes, but every time she tells her siblings about it, they look down on the new sounds she discovers. Will an encounter with a newly arrived band show them how to appreciate ‘different’ music? This title includes a few ideas for music education.

A musical plea in favor of open ears, inclusion and diversity for little musicians ages 4 years and up.
