Description
Meet Norman! He’s a spunky young squirrel in search of his happy place. Since the year is 1985, ’80s pop music is all the rage. For an old-soul jazz lover like Norman, he is not a fan. To make it worse, that is the only music his parents would allow! Norman’s endless whimsical energy sends him on a quest to follow his musical passions, and, ultimately, his heart. Norman turns to a library, a classroom, and a musical instrument for guidance. His critter friends––Tommy the toad, Bridgette the blue jay, and Willy the opossum––are by his side for every twist and turn. This heartwarming tale of self–discovery and friendship will put a smile on readers’ faces no matter their age!
