He missed his family, endured teasing and sometimes doubted himself. But Farrokh loved music. With a countdown to his very first performance, readers watch him battle stage fright, lean on his friends and step up to the piano. As his fingers fly across the keys, fear turns into joy and even his bullies cheer for him. This inspiring picture-book biography captures a defining childhood moment of the boy who dreamed big—and grew up to become Freddie Mercury, a legend.\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout the Author: Shyamala Shanmugasundaram writes fiction and non- fiction for all ages.
