Winner at the 2014 Living Now Book Awards. Meet John. When he was at
the age when other children begin to speak, John didn't. And as he grew
up, whenever he wanted to ask for something or express how he felt, he
could only whistle.
John is different. When he was at the age when other children start to
talk, he didn't. As he grew up, when he had to ask for what he wanted,
or express how he felt, he could only whistle. John began to use
different kinds of whistles for different things. He blew a sharp
whistle to call attention, a louder whistle when he was hungry, and an
even louder one if something scared him! John had a playful whistle to
say "I love you," and a longer, sweeter-sounding whistle to express
happiness. But everything would change the day he met Claire, a girl
with dark, dark eyes.
A tale full of tenderness that touches the heart, reminding us that
music is the true language of the soul and that our differences can be
solved through good intentions and friendship.
