A nighttime journey through sound

After a bus is stopped on a country road, Lewis begins noticing the sounds of the natural world around him. The contrast between the city’s bustle and the quieter roadside setting gives the story a clear listening focus, with sound words bringing beetles, critters, and other nighttime activity into view. Sally Soweol Han’s picture book connects careful listening with discovering what is nearby, making the sounds themselves central to the story.

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.
