A Mouse Tale

When Marcy South and her daughter Lily move into their new home, they discover an old upright piano on the back porch. But there's a problem: a mouse had been living inside, using the felt from the key hammers to build its nest. Five keys no longer work, and Marcy can't afford the repairs. Instead of giving up, Marcy does something remarkable. She writes original music that skips the broken keys, teaching Lily to play compositions unlike anything heard before.
As Lily grows more skilled, she decides to enter the local youth music competition. While other children perform famous classical pieces on perfect instruments, Lily plays her mother's unusual music and captivates everyone. This heartwarming story celebrates creativity, resilience, and finding opportunity in unexpected places. Perfect for young readers and families, A Mouse Tale shows that what seems broken might actually be the key to discovering something extraordinary.
A touching story about a mother's ingenuity, a daughter's courage, and a piano that teaches them both that imperfection can create the most beautiful music of all.
