      <image:caption>This fantasy book tells the story of a Korean-inspired universe where a young fox spirit sets out to find her missing brother and clear his name. It explores themes of empathy, family, and the power of myth and imagination. One way that the characters learn to be empathetic is by experiencing discrimination and prejudice themselves. The main character, Min, is a fox spirit and faces discrimination from some characters who believe that fox spirits are untrustworthy and deceitful. Similarly, Haneul, a non-magical character, is bullied and ostracized by his peers because of his background. Through their experiences, Min and Haneul are able to develop empathy towards others who also face discrimination and prejudice. Recommended for readers ages 10-14 ready for more advanced writing style and complex themes related to discrimination, loyalty, and self-discovery.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Great books for budding musicians - A Mouse Called Wolf by Dick King-Smith</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was a great aloud for my kids at 5 and 7. A mouse discovers and pursues his love of singing and finds a sense of purpose. He develops a lovely friendship with a human. Also interesting is Wolf’s relationship with his mother. She loved his voice but didn’t always appreciate or understand him fully; this nuanced depiction may be helpful to kids who feel different or misunderstood by their parents in their creative quests or otherwise.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Great books for budding musicians - Listen to My Trumpet by Mo Willems</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is a sweet book for ages 3-6 that’s more about friendship than music. Piggie gets a trumpet and is so excited to play it for Gerald, who must juggle tact with integrity. The story is simple and funny, celebrates creativity, patience and kindness, all important when you’re learning something new or supporting a friend who may not get it “right” the first time.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>An excellent book for anyone starting to learn an instrument (recommended ages 6-8). With three violin lessons under her belt, Hana signs up for the school talent show. Her brother teases her and tries to get her to back out, but she’s quietly determined. This is a positive story that celebrates creativity, fresh perspective and a sense of fun in music-making. It’s good for Suzuki beginners as it shows that everyone has something to perform.</image:caption>

This is a classic that is also fast-moving, fun and gentle, fit for a read aloud for ages 6-10 or an independent read for third or fourth graders and up.</image:caption>
