Cover of Theft! a history of music by Keith Aoki, James Boyle, Jennifer Jenkins

KidoJam's Take

Theft! A History of Music from the Public Domain explains how music has been shared, reused, and reinvented over time. Using stories and examples, the book helps readers understand creativity, ownership, and how public domain music shapes culture.

What's Good

  • Makes complex ideas about music and copyright easy to understand
  • Shows how creativity builds on past works
  • Engaging examples from music history

To Note

  • ⚠️Some concepts may feel abstract for younger readers
  • ⚠️More educational than story-based
  • ⚠️May require adult explanation for full understanding
