Written & illustrated by Emily Ettlinger
A skeleton seeks her musical rhythm to shine at a festival.
Skeleanor, a skeleton with a passion for music, struggles to find her rhythm. As the Little Casketon Summershine festival approaches, she hopes to overcome her rattling nerves and join the town band. With her friend Batima by her side, can Skeleanor prove her musical talent and take center stage? Discover a tale of friendship, dreams, and the courage to follow your passion.
An instantly charming and vivid chapter-book graphic novel, starring a music-obsessed skeleton, Skeleanor, and her quest to find her sound (and her confidence) by debut creator Emily Ettlinger. Skeleanor loves music more than life itself. There’s just one problem: She has a bit more rattle than rhythm at the moment. No matter what type of instrument she plays–from the fiddle to the xylobone–she always seems to scare the people of Little Casketon away. But with the Little Casketon Summershine festival coming up, and the town band missing a player, maybe Skeleanor (along with the help of her best friend, Batima) could show people her skills and finally take center stage. Hilarious and heartfelt, Skeleanor the Decomposer by debut author and illustrator Emily Ettlinger is a story about chasing your passions no matter what other people say. Sometimes, all you need is a dream, your friends, and a little music.
