A muse with a different kind of song - and a lesson every child needs.
While her sisters sing bright, happy tunes on Mount Helicon, the muse Melpomene's songs are softer, slower, and sometimes a little sad - and she's not sure that's okay. But when she meets a shepherd boy who has lost something precious, her honest, tender song helps him more than any happy tune ever could.
Melpomene's Honest Song is a beautifully illustrated retelling brought to life with magical, colorful, hand-carved wooden folk-art illustrations that feel like storybook puppets come alive.
Perfect for bedtime, story time, or classroom read-alouds, this rhythmic, one-sentence-per-page story (ages 4-10) gently teaches kids emotional honesty, empathy, and that it's healthy to feel - and share - sad feelings, without ever feeling like a lesson.
Includes a Creative Corner activity page to extend the fun after the story ends.
