Description
From author-illustrator Sally Soweol Han comes a joyful story about discovering new things and listening to the amazing world around us.
After a long day in the hustle and bustle of the big, noisy city, Lewis is ready to go home. But when the BRUMMM of their bus is stopped by a loud POP!, they are stuck waiting along a country road. With nothing to do, Lewis finds himself listening to new noises all around him. Beetles BUZZ and critters ZIP in the moon-bright sky. Whooooooosh, whirr, flitter flutter, rustle rustle-whoa! The more he listens, the more he hears-nature's sounds are full of music.
Perfect for bedtime reading, this lovely story introduces young readers to the amazing sounds all around us-nature's wonder-if we only take time to stop and listen.

In the striking black-and-white, hand-drawn and -painted illustrations, onomatopoeic words and sound effects pop up in primary colors. This well-orchestrated, harmonious celebration of the sounds of nature hits all the right notes.
