Listening for music in everyday sounds

A girl and her dog spend the day gathering sounds across city streets and nature trails, from raindrops and footsteps to birds and rustling trees. The journey moves through community and natural spaces toward a forest finale, framing attentive listening as a way to discover music in ordinary surroundings. Details in the artwork add another layer: nine hidden instruments and musical notation invite close looking alongside listening. The book connects sound, place, and visual discovery, and closes with an invitation to imagine a tune of one’s own.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring music and sound
  • Families looking for a read-aloud that encourages noticing everyday sounds
  • Young listeners who enjoy searching for details in illustrations

Book overview

★ "A revelatory, beguiling celebration of sound and observation, inviting readers to listen as an act of imagination--and to recognize the music already woven through their days." -- Booklist, STARRED REVIEW

Whizz, whoosh, whirr! Follow a girl and her dog on a journey along city streets and nature trails as they learn that there's music all around in everyday sounds--a symphony waiting to be heard.


When morning comes, the sounds stretch awake. There is music in everything. Raindrops, footsteps, birds, breeze, and trees. Can you hear it?


Join a girl and her dog on their day spent collecting sounds. They whirr past the community fountain, whizz up to a vista point, and whoosh through the bustle of city streets to a final forest crescendo.


Camouflaged in the artwork are nine instruments and numerous musical notations. Pops of color highlight the unexpected moments, creatures, and places where music hides in plain sight.


Here, in this book.


There, on the sidewalk.


Overhead, in the distance.


Look closely . . . Everything is music . . . to inspire your own tune.
