This book is fiction which mimics real events in history. It is the tale of a beloved violin which was stolen from the family who revered and played it and disrespected by a people who waged war. After the war not everyone came home and some had no possessions at all. But some of the musical instruments were found and in sad shape. These were taken to those who repair violins and other stringed instruments (called luthiers). There they are resurrected and sold to those who appreciate the music they give.
The illustrations by Juliana Oakley (an illustrator from Latvia living in Bahrain) are clear, simple, colorful, and expressive.
Well suited for reading alone or WITH someone of any age, including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, especially to a school, church library, or your local public library!
