From the rhythmic chug of a bus to the chirping of birds and the clatter of a jackhammer, Rachel Isadora uses beautiful collage illustrations and onomatopoeia to teach children how to listen actively. It is an excellent choice for building early phonological awareness and fostering a sense of belonging within a diverse community. This book turns the noisy city from a place of chaos into a place of wonder and connection.
