APPEALS TO: SOME

Tori loves to play the piano, and is happy when her eleven muses come to see her.  They brought her a magical pink piano. They asked her to play something she wrote herself. Her muses talked her into taking her magical pink piano for a walk through the town to discover how other people discover their inspiration. What does Anna learn about other people's muses?

Tori and the Muses is about navigating the magical world of inspiration.  This is a great concept, but this story is not very relatable and is very wordy.  Haughton’s  illustrations are beautiful and sweet.
