Reach for this book when your child is facing the daunting 'talent show' jitters or feels discouraged by how effortless others make a skill look. It is an ideal choice for the child who wants to participate in a group activity but lacks confidence in their own natural abilities. Rosemary Wells uses her beloved characters, Timothy and Yoko, to show that while some may be born with a gift, everyone can achieve their goals through persistence and the support of a friend. The story follows Timothy as he navigates the anxiety of the school talent show. Lacking an instrument of his own, he finds a mentor in Yoko, who teaches him the Bells of Sarna. The narrative gently reinforces that mastery is a process of small, repetitive steps rather than an overnight miracle. It is a perfect read for children aged 5 to 7 who are beginning to experience the social pressures of school performances and the personal frustration of the learning curve.
