About this ebook
What does sound look like? “Comprehensively describes [sound’s] qualities, sources, and uses . . . A joyful moment of reflection on our noisy, cacophonous world.” —School Library Journal
Informative and endlessly fascinating, this book makes visible that which we otherwise only hear and feel as vibrations: SOUND. Authors and artists Romana Romanyshyn and Andriy Lesiv achieve a remarkable fusion of a scientific exploration of the phenomenon of sound with a philosophic reflection on its nature that will appeal to inquisitive children looking to learn more about science and how our bodies work. Stunning infographics provoke the reader to listen, learn, and think. Whether it’s hearing noise, music, speech—or silence—no one will come away from these pages without experiencing sound with new ears and a fresh understanding.
Winner (with its companion volume, Sight), Bologna Ragazzi Award, Best Nonfiction Book of the Year
“This attention-grabbing informational book starts with a bang: a rapid-fire tour of all things sound. Chock-full of whimsical infographics . . . A quiet meditation on hearing, listening, silence, communication, and understanding.” —The Horn Book Magazine
“This vibrant picture book is particularly wonderful when the text focuses on music and melody; the music of life is everywhere, from speech to nature, from trombones to gramophones, from rumbling bellies to crying babies. The absence of sound is explored as well—communicating in sign language, meditating, or simply being present in quiet moments with loved ones. . . . A great discussion-starter for elementary school children.” —School Library Journal
“A compelling foray into the many aspects of sound.” —Publishers Weekly
