A chance encounter with a starling inspires Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in this picture book based on a true story.

Star- The Bird Who Inspired Mozart is based on the true story of how Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the world's most remarkable musicians, was inspired by one of the world's most unremarkable birds- a starling.

In this charming picture book, author Mireille Messier tells the story of a very special relationship and how it began- with a chance musical encounter. And Matte Stephens's playful art captures both the grandeur of 18th century Vienna and the budding unlikely friendship between a famous musician and a humble starling.
