A Tuba Christmas

Helen Wilbur introduces this heartwarming tale to Ava, who comes from a very musical family, where everyone plays an instrument. When it's time for Ava to choose her instrument, she doesn't go with one of the standard instruments like piano, flute, or violin. Ava wants to play the tuba! So she does.

Ava finds that playing the tuba is a little more complicated than she thought, and her family doesn't have any tuba parts for the holiday concert they present. However, with her music teacher's encouragement, Ava finds a way to be involved in the holiday celebration after all!

This remarkable story is about trying things "outside of the norm," being confident, and standing up for what you want.
