About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels that their specific interests or talents do not fit in with the crowd, or when they need to see that being loud and bold is a superpower. Carlotta Carusa is a larger than life opera singer who finds herself in the dusty, rough and tumble Wild West. While she seems out of place at first, she soon discovers that her powerful voice is the perfect tool for handling outlaws and taming the frontier. This humorous historical romp celebrates self confidence and the idea that being true to oneself can solve even the toughest problems. It is an excellent choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating social dynamics and learning to embrace their own unique 'volume' in the world.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The conflict with the outlaws is handled with slapstick humor and a secular, lighthearted resolution. The 'danger' is theatrical rather than realistic.
