The Day Bell Found Her Sound - Hardcover

by Lizzy O'Donnell (Author), Lizzy O'Donnell (Illustrator)

Matthew Forsythe meets Richard Scarry in this stunning debut that celebrates embracing your voice and finding a place in your community!

In a town bursting with music, everyone marches to the beat of their own drum. Except for a quiet mouse named Bell, who doesn't yet know what her sound is. She tries honking, tooting, strumming, even tapping, just like she hears her neighbors doing. But none of it feels quite right! None of it feels like Bell. Figuring out her place in the village, it turns out, might just mean finding her own voice first.

Lizzy O'Donnell's sumptuous storytelling delicately demonstrates that we find true harmony within our communities when we embrace our truest selves.
