{"product_id":"the-piano-recital-9781525302572","title":"The Piano Recital","description":"\u003cbr\u003e It's the day of Momo's first piano recital. As she nervously waits for her turn to play, she tells herself, \"I'll be okay ... I'll be okay ...\" Then she hears a voice nearby, also saying, \"I'll be okay ... I'll be okay ...\" It's a mouseling  And the little mouse is nervous about her first performance, too. The mouseling invites Momo through a small door backstage, where Momo is amazed to find a miniature theater filled with an audience of finely dressed mice there to watch singers, dancers and circus performers  When it's the mouseling's turn, Momo agrees to accompany her on piano. The mouse audience is so appreciative  But then, as she rises to take her bow, Momo is surprised to discover - it isn't a mouse audience at all  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here's another magical, dreamlike picture book from Akiko Miyakoshi, the multi-award-winning and internationally bestselling author-illustrator. The imaginative narrative is woven around the common childhood experience of anxiety, felt by performers but also by every child who faces a new life challenge. Momo serves as a wonderful example to children, using the power of her imagination to understand and work through her feelings. Even the youngest readers will be able to follow this story through the beautiful and fantastically detailed illustrations, which perfectly capture Momo's emotions as she transitions from the real to the imagined and back again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kids Can Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781525302572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 7.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2019 pg. 101\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2019 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2019 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Akiko Miyakoshi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38470879379637,"sku":"9781525302572","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_61f70e65-754a-44cf-aefc-0fc82acdcd27.jpg?v=1612927503","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-piano-recital-9781525302572","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
