Reach for this book when your child feels the weight of 'fitting in' or is struggling with the expectation to be just like everyone else. In this whimsical story, a conductor tries to lead a choir of animals in a song about what they are 'supposed' to like, such as cows liking grass or lions liking roaring. However, the animals break into their own hilarious solos to reveal their true, quirky passions, like a lion who actually loves to knit. This story is a joyful celebration of individuality and the courage to voice one's own truth. It is perfect for preschoolers and early elementary children who are beginning to navigate social groups. By using humor and music, it reassures children that their unique interests make them special, even if they don't match the stereotypes or 'scripts' others have written for them.
