Summary
A Parents' Choice Gold Medal Winner
★ "An inviting tale that will stretch inquisitive and observant young minds." --Kirkus, starred review
A beautiful, lyrical book about a boy seeking silence in a bustling city, for fans of The Quiet Book and Wabi Sabi
"Do you have a favorite sound?" little Yoshio asks. The musician answers, "The most beautiful sound is the sound of ma, of silence."
But Yoshio lives in Tokyo, Japan: a giant, noisy, busy city. He hears shoes squishing through puddles, trains whooshing, cars beeping, and families laughing. Tokyo is like a symphony hall!
Where is silence?
Join Yoshio on his journey through the hustle and bustle of the city to find the most beautiful sound of all.
★ "This book will be especially welcome in settings that teach yoga or mindfulness, but its message and striking art will be appreciated anywhere the din of daily life can overwhelm." --School Library Journal, starred review
