"Piccolo, It's Time to Go!: A JP Chinmusic Story about Opportunity and Courage" is a must read story. This is the story of an instrument named Piccolo. He has practiced hard and other instruments have seen that. Piccolo is afraid of giving a solo performance. He asks the flute if it can take his part. Flute told Piccolo that it's his chance to be successful and he should let other people see him.
Other instruments are so supportive and assure Piccolo that even they feel uneasy when it's their turn but with practice and taking opportunities, we all grow. Read this story to find out if Piccolo will freeze on the stage or give a great performance.
I loved this book. I could relate to Piccolo as I fear being judged. Like Piccolo, I fear that I would freeze on the stage. This book teaches us to take opportunities when they come. It's okay to feel nervous but we shouldn't miss the opportunities.
The writing style of the author is nice. The cover photo is eye-catching. I loved the illustrations. They are pretty and make the story more lively. The author has done great work in this book. Looking forward to reading more books by him.

Stage fright is something many people experience, and this story centers around Piccolo, a musical instrument who's been working hard to prepare for a solo performance. Despite all his practice, Piccolo is filled with anxiety and fear at the thought of being on stage alone, knowing how easily he freezes up under pressure.
Piccolo tries to pass his solo part to the flute, admitting that he's too scared to face the audience. But the flute reassures him, reminding Piccolo of all the hard work he’s put in and encouraging him to show everyone what he's capable of. In the end, Piccolo must decide whether to seize the moment or let it slip away. Determined, he chooses to give it his best shot.
Piccolo is such a well-crafted character, and the story pulled me in completely—it felt like I was right there watching him face his fears on stage. The narration flows beautifully, and the language is simple enough for children to enjoy while grasping the deeper message of courage and taking chances. This is a wonderful story that kids will love!

I love reading children's books to my nephews, and recently, we enjoyed "Piccolo, It's Time to Go!: A JP Chinmusic Story about Opportunity and Courage."
The story revolves around Piccolo, a nervous instrument hesitant to perform a solo on stage. Doubtful and anxious, Piccolo tries to pass his part on to the other instruments. However, instead of accepting, they offer him encouragement, reminding him of his hard work and practice, and reassuring him that he’s capable of doing well.
What stood out to me was how Piccolo’s friends supported him, emphasizing teamwork and lifting each other up rather than mocking his fears. It's a powerful lesson in encouragement and overcoming challenges. The question remains: Will Piccolo conquer his fears and step into the spotlight?
My nephews were instantly captivated by Piccolo's character and couldn't get enough of the vibrant illustrations. The bright, engaging pages pulled them into the story, and I was equally impressed by the author's ability to weave creativity and heart into such a fun and meaningful narrative.
