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! <p/>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>... a feast for eyes and ears that children will enjoy.--<i><b>CM Magazine</b></i><br><br>... among the best bedtime books ever written.--<i><b>Chicago Tribune</b></i><br><br>A soothing, fanciful adventure ...--<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i><br><br>Honoring imagination, this enchanting fantasy offers alternatives and antidotes to anxiety.--<i><b>School Library Journal, starred review</b></i><br><br>Miyakoshi conjures an edgy magic ...--<i><b>Booklist</b></i><br><br>This lovely little story can be used as a great tool for a child with performance anxiety.--<i><b>ABQLA</b></i><br><br>This story ... fulfills the wish of reluctant recital players (and some nonrecitalists as well) to find themselves in another world entirely.--<i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Akiko Miyakoshi was born in Saitama, on the island of Honshu in Japan.
