WARM | Oct 14, 2009 |  A boy learns from his grandpa that the world sings it's own song and that we can listen with more than just our ears - but with our souls as well. Children's Folklore I really like Byrd Baylor and Peter Parnell together. This is a beaut to look at, but the story seems watered down compared with their other works. Baylor usually interprets such rich stories and this one just feels a little empty. (  ) dylantanner | Dec 7, 2008 | This book is not easy for elementary children to understand by themselves. It makes a great read aloud but it takes some discussion and scaffolding. I have seen it used wonderfully as an opening to a nature study and during the first six weeks of school - touching on the learning and teaching themes.

| Book description |
|
When you know "the other way to listen," you can hear wildflower seeds burst open, you can hear the rocks murmuring, and the hills singing, and it seems like the most natural thing in the world.
Of course it takes a lot of practice, and you can't be in a hurry...
In fact, most people never hear those things at all, but this book tells you about two people who did -- one who was very good at it and one who took a long time learning.
As in their other books, Byrd Baylor and Peter Parnall bring us close to the essence of the natural world. Thanks to their unique talents, their books are for us the experience about which they write and draw.

I said, "I didn't hear a thing."
He said, "Sometimes EVERYTHING BEING RIGHT makes a kind of sound."
As time goes by, she learns to listen and she, too, begins to hear the songs of hills, the poetry of lava rock and the sound of wildflower seeds bursting open. (Ages 6-9)
