The Music Thief is a heartwarming children's book that celebrates creativity, self-expression, 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 overcoming challenges and finding inner strength. With stunning illustrations by British artist Pearl Bates, The Music Thief is a must-have for every family’s bookshelf. Inspired by Sophie's journey as a violinist, coming from a family of musicians, and as a mother of three children with neurodiversities, the book release will be celebrated in partnership with Autism Okanagan.
