The Music Thief
by
Sophie Armstrong
“Then, one starry night through a sky full of stars, The sound of music drifted afar…” The sound of music lights up the enchanting city of Song, filling the air with the joy of each girl and boy. But when a witch named Mysantha hears the beautiful tunes, she steals every instrument and song, just like when her music was stolen when she was young. Despite being silenced by Mysantha—the music thief—a young girl named Faith refuses to give up her love of music. Upon finding a wooden violin, Faith inspires the townspeople to make their own instruments, and they drummed, danced, and sang. In the end, music was discovered where it had always been. Told through vibrant illustrations and captivating rhymes, this melodious children’s book beautifully reflects its musical themes. Whether you have a passion for music or another art form, The Music Thief will heal, inspire, and empower children to express themselves.
Sophie Armstrong, born in the UK and raised in Australia, is a violinist and composer who has shared her global music performances in over 40 cities internationally. Also an award-winning entrepreneur, Sophie runs a boutique public relations company, and teaches media training and stage craft. Sophie also founded Every Woman Foundation, which hosted festivals and programs focused on healing through self-expression. Sophie lives in Kelowna, British Columbia, with her husband, three children, a dog, and a cat. This is Sophie’s first book, inspired by her journey as both a musician and a mother, and by the challenges we sometimes need to overcome to share our true creative selves. Illustrated by British artist Pearl Bates, whose stylized fantasy art brings the tale to life, The Music Thief is an enchanting read for all.
