“One day I listened. I listened to all the sounds I heard. I listened and I wondered.”
From a clock’s ticks in the morning to a father’s snores at night, sounds are everywhere. That’s what an attentive boy discovers as he listens his way through a school day. He perceives that sounds can be loud or soft and low or high. And sometimes, he notices, things like butterflies and wiggling worms are so quiet, he can’t hear them at all.
