About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child feels torn between different interests or is struggling to find their place on a new team or at a new school. Harmony is a talented flutist who joins the school basketball team to make friends, but she feels clumsy and out of place. This story follows her journey as she almost gives up but then finds a creative way to use her musical talents to help the team, proving that our unique skills can be our greatest strengths. It's a gentle, encouraging read for ages 8 to 12 that beautifully illustrates themes of teamwork, self-confidence, and the courage to be yourself. It’s an excellent choice to show a child that everyone has something valuable to contribute, even if it's not obvious at first.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The core of the book deals with feelings of inadequacy, social anxiety, and the struggle to belong. The approach is direct and grounded in realistic school and team scenarios. The conflict is entirely secular and character-driven. The resolution is hopeful and empowering, as the protagonist finds a solution through her own unique strengths rather than by changing who she is.
