This is a beautifully illustrated children's picture book which teaches the importance of perseverance and hardwork. Moby learns about passion, patience and happiness from a flute which she receives as a birthday gift from her dad. It shows us never to give up and to believe in oneself. The illustrations and colors are splendid. Some of the illustrations were so good that I kept staring at them for a long time. The level of finesse, detail, colors, shades and creativity in each illustration is immense. The facial expressions of Moby and other kids were very cute and adorable. The story itself is very heartwarming. In a playful but not preachy tone it shows how kids can find their passion and work hard to achieve their dreams. It touches upon the sensitive relationship of father and daughter. It shows how dads inspire and encourage their kids. There is also an element of mystery which will attract the young readers. I read it to my kids and they loved the story and illustrations. I am sure it will become a favorite read, a comfort read which kids would want to come back to again and again.
