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.
