Reach for this book when your child is feeling overstimulated by the world around them or struggling with a 'grumpy' mood where every little sound feels like an annoyance. It is a perfect tool for children who have high sensory sensitivity or those who are beginning to ask questions about the environment and our impact on nature. The story follows a small tree mouse who is frustrated by the loud, chaotic chirps and buzzes of the rainforest. However, his perspective shifts dramatically when a truly terrifying noise arrives: the sound of a bulldozer destroying his home. Through this contrast, the book explores themes of gratitude, perspective, and environmental stewardship. It is a gentle yet powerful way to help children age 4 to 8 differentiate between 'good noise' (the life and energy of the world) and 'bad noise' (destruction and disharmony).
