The Music Thief is all about self expression, forgiveness and resilience. Set in the enchanting town of Song, young Faith leads her community in reclaiming their stolen voices. Perfect for children up to 8, this inspiring tale encourages creativity, overcoming challenges, and finding inner strength. With stunning illustrations by British artist Pearl Bates, and a heartwarming message, The Music Thief is a must-have for every family’s bookshelf. Inspired by Sophie’s journey as a violinist, from a family of musicians, and as a mother of three children with neurodiversities, the book release will be celebrated in partnership with the nonprofit organization Autism Okanagan.
