Paxton’s dream is to play the piccolo in the Princeton Philharmonic. This plucky pink pachyderm patiently practices to perfectly fulfill his passion in this picture book that shows little readers how hard work makes dreams come true.

Filled with plenty of pleasant and perky illustrations, Paxton Plays the Piccolo is a picture book perfect for children that love animals and music. With so many P-word pronunciations and perfectly-timed alliterations, it’s written to be a joy for little readers and their grown-ups to read aloud. Paxton is ready to provide the promise that if you follow your heart, practice certainly does make perfect.

About the Author

When my first Siamese cat gave birth to six kittens on my bed, my appreciation for differences and the love of cats started. Cats and students have been a big part of my life for fifty years. Creative Writing was among the high school English courses I taught over my forty years in the classroom. I always wrote with my students. It provided me with knowledge of the assignment and led me down my own path of discovery. After retirement I was able to follow my passion of writing for young readers. I enjoy reading my books in elementary school classrooms and talking to my audience. They always provide me with amazing ideas and I have been able to use some of them to create new stories. I live in Colorado with my husband and one senior cat. I also enjoy being an active grandmother.

    Our girls LOVE giving a voice to our cat. The elephant PAXTON is perfect for building on that creativity and teaching the importance of persistence.

    Virginia White’s latest children’s book “Paxton Plays the Piccolo” is a very fun read!! I loved the use of alliteration (P) and the color illustrations added to the interest of the story! Virginia always writes with a lesson in mind and this book is no exception! It great for kids of all ages to learn that persistence pays! I have been a fan of her she started writing her children’s stories! “Yay” for Virginia! Another home run!!

    Virginia K.White and her daughter, Kristin Dulany have teamed up to create a delightful story to add to Virginia’s highly successful alliteration series. “Paxton Plays the Piccolo” takes children on a journey of persistence. Lessons of following your dream, working hard, not getting discouraged and not giving up are woven in this delightful tale. Children will giggle their way through learning new words and some life lessons. The illustrations by Gaspar add to the joy.

    What a fun and encouraging book for children, especially before they face rejection. Paxton models patient perseverance. My grandchildren will enjoy the fun story, especially with all the animals! Their parents will appreciate the life lesson. I chuckled at the witty wording and I am obviously influenced by the alluring alliteration!

    What's a pink piccolo playing pachyderm to do when not given a chance to perform? Persist and practice, of course. A great read-out-loud book that kids will love, full of alliteration, colorful illustrations, a great lesson, and a whole lot of fun!
