SuitabookHallelujah Handel
Douglas Cowling
- Reading
- Read together at a pace that leaves room to pause over Thomas’s circumstances. If the book includes musical excerpts, listen or revisit them alongside the story.
- Themes
- Music, communication and change: The book addresses music, communication and change; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Thomas is an orphan seeking a home, and the story describes him as unable to speak before music helps him. Consider whether those themes suit your child’s interests or circumstances.
