In a centuries-old music shop brimming with instruments lives a most unusual musical family—a family of mice. Having grown up among the eloquent sounds of violins and a stately grand piano, Mimi wants nothing more than to lead an orchestra and become a mousetro. Unfortunately, Mimi’s brash and biased brothers are not very encouraging. “Girls can’t be mousetros,” they sneer. In spite of her brothers discouraging words, she finds the courage within to pursue her dream. Emboldened by a chance encounter with a real maestro and recalling a secret from her mother, Mimi eventually conducts a very different kind of orchestra—one where everyone is invited!
A modern picture book fable about inclusivity, ambition, and following your heart, Mimi and the Golden Baton will have children ages 3-6 cheering as she takes on risks and defies the naysayers. Through her quest to become a moustro, Mimi finds an unlikely orchestra, symbolizing musicians of all stripes coming together.
Mimi and the Gold Baton reminds us all that there’s room on the stage for everyone!
After all, even a mouse needs to be heard.
