“Tori and the Muses” features a child with a very special secret: the eleven Muses who have guided her artistic pursuits since she was a baby. Unhappy when her father forces her to rehearse for music recitals, the Muses remind Tori that inspiration is everywhere, and perhaps in helping others find their own Muses she may better understand herself. This debut picture book is filled with joy, curiosity, and imagination and is intended to remind young readers to find inspiration in the things they love.
