Moby Plays the Flute
By: Eeha Bhatt
5*

As a teacher, I am always looking for engaging books to read to my students. It is great if it is a book that I can tie in with a lesson. This is especially true if it is a book that models a social emotional skill, such as empathy, kindness or perseverance. The more books I can show my students about these skills the happier I am. This book is the perfect book to teach about a growth mindset, perseverance, or resilience. It also would be a good book to introduce Passion Projects if your class does them.
Moby’s father is in the military and he is about to be deployed. He gives her a gift before he leaves. This gift is a flute. Moby discovers that learning to play the flute will not be an easy task, rather it is something she will need to work hard at. This story is absolutely heartwarming and it has the most beautiful illustrations.
I read this book to my students in Kindergarten, First Grade and Second grade. I recommend this book for all those age ranges. However, I would not limit it to those ages. I believe that all children would enjoy this book.
