Melody and the Magic Music Box by Tim Tivis (Book Spotlight)

A heartwarming adventure that teaches kids to believe in themselves-no matter how small their voice may be.

When young Melody discovers a magical music box that only plays when someone smiles, she never expects it to lead her into a kingdom full of sadness. The princess has lost her smile-and with it, the music, laughter, and joy of the land. Melody knows she must help, but she’s just an ordinary girl… or is she?

To restore happiness to the kingdom, Melody enters the king’s grand singing contest. She doesn’t have the loudest voice-but she has something far more powerful: kindness, courage, and a heart full of hope.

Perfect for children ages 3 and up, this beautifully written story will:

Inspire confidence and resilience
Encourage kindness and empathy
Show that bravery comes from trying, not from being perfect
Help children discover the power of their unique gifts

Whether shared at bedtime, in the classroom, or during quiet reading time, Melody and the Magic Music Box reminds every child that their voice matters-and the world needs their smile.
