Auburn Hills, MI Author Publishes Children's Book

Merwin the Mouse And The Music Room: Merwin Learns About the Piano, a new book by Dr. Albert Hodge, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

On the surface, Merwin the Mouse And The Music Room is about a mouse who, while exploring, finds a school music room, enjoys seeing and hearing the humans make music, and decides to learn to make music himself - starting with playing the piano.

Merwin illustrates the benefits of practice and persistence, study and observation, and eventually patience and relationship building.

Dr. Albert Hodge hopes that readers take away the understanding that with the appropriate study, practice and patience, there's nothing that they can't do. As Merwin says, "If I can do it, so can you."
