What if the thing you loved most felt like your biggest secret? Written by Tony Eetak and published by the Arts Incubator Winnipeg, Sarah's Steady Note introduces Sarah, a quiet ten-year-old girl who finds her true voice not in words, but in the deep, resonant hum of her tuba. It's a big, golden beast, and playing it fills Sarah with a secret, powerful joy that makes her feel whole.

But when her friends and older brother dismiss her unique passion as "uncool" or a "waste of time," Sarah's confidence begins to waver. She starts to question if her instrument, which she knows holds the whole song together, is truly important. The happy feeling she once found begins to shrink, replaced by doubt, and she considers giving up the very thing that makes her feel special and gives her purpose.

Can Sarah find the courage to stand firm in her own convictions and respect her own path? This heartwarming story explores the dignity of following your heart, even when others don't understand. It's a powerful reminder that every "steady note," no matter how quiet, is essential to the harmony of life, and that embracing your authentic self is the most important tune you can play.
