Reach for this book when your child is struggling with feelings of inadequacy or the constant pressure of comparing their own progress to a 'star' peer. Set in 18th-century London, the story follows Mary Ann, a girl attending a boarding school for young ladies who feels overshadowed by the arrival of a true musical prodigy, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It is a gentle but profound exploration of how it feels to be 'ordinary' in the presence of greatness. While the historical setting provides a rich backdrop for learning about life in the 1700s, the heart of the book is the emotional journey of self-acceptance. Mary Ann must navigate her envy and find her own unique worth, realizing that her path is just as valid as that of a world-famous genius. This is an ideal choice for readers aged 7 to 11 who are developing their sense of identity and learning to celebrate their personal milestones without looking sideways at others.
