Review

"Despite the ostensible topic, it's the art and page design that occupy center stage in this large-format showcase... Each eye-catching scene features a mix of flat or minimally modeled images of musical instruments and other sound producers, animal or human silhouettes, and graphic representations of sonic waves, lines, bursts, or blasts...Jazzy, loud illustrations command-and merit-attention..."
——Kirkus Reviews

"This illustrated nonfiction primer presents a compelling foray into the many aspects of sound and how it shapes the world...Often poetic... budding acousticians will find it a worthy resource."——Publishers Weekly

Description

This unique picture book about hearing and silence, and about sounds that we can or cannot hear, was created by the most renowned Ukrainian illustrators Romana Romanyshyn and Andriy Lesiv, whose books have twice won the Bologna Ragazzi Award.
The book is told in many voices: the voice of bright colours, of many interesting facts, of visual images. It contains sounds of noise and music, of city and nature, as well as the oldest sound in our universe and the quietest musical piece in human history. The main characters of the book will lead readers through the whole story, teaching children how deaf people communicate with each other and why silence is so important in our lives.
