The Sound of All Things

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ted Papoulas. A family savors a day at Coney Island: the thrill of the roller coaster, the ocean, fireworks. But only the boy can hear them--his parents are deaf. He struggles to describe sounds to his dad; afraid his words are inadequate, he goes to the library. Lush, realistic paintings evoke 1930s Brooklyn and this family's love. A personal author's note adds emotional resonance.
