Moby Plays the Flute by Eeha Bhatt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"Moby has a problem" is how we are introduced to this sweet story. Moby is a young girl who feels like everyone and everything is against her. She sits at the back of the classroom until her dad encourages her to move to the front. She does and is ridiculed for an incorrect answer. Oh how she misses the back row! Moby then learns that her daddy is being called away for a long period of time with the Marines. He leaves her birthday gift with her. She sees a beautiful flute but when she tries to play it, it won't work. She throws it over in a pile of other "rejected" toys. She's missing her daddy but nothing seems to work out in her favor!
It's getting closer to another birthday and her dad is still away. He's not sending a gift this year. She talks to him about the "broken flute" and he tells her not to give up. What happens next is a huge lesson for everyone involved.

This book focuses on persistence and patience. It's a great book for youngsters of all ages, young and old alike!! It's a great book to show that being persistent and having confidence can change your outlook on everything!
