"Ah, I can hear it." Written by Emi Tsutsumi Illustrated by Daisuke Tsutsumi If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of the rain. Falling on the roof, plink. Plink, plink. Running along the wires, drip, drip, drip... If you're quiet, you can hear it, you can hear it. The sound of flowers opening, pop! Footsteps echoing on the freshly fallen snow, squish, swoosh. The sleeping breath of a baby rabbit sleeping in the hollow of an acorn tree, coo-coo-coo. The sound of waves and crabs playing tag on a southern island beach, shalalalala. The sound of bubbles trapped in the ice of an iceberg, ring, long, pshoo. Something can be heard from the bottom of the deep sea. I wonder if something can be heard from space too? And, if you listen even more closely, from inside Mom's tummy, a tiny voice calling me! This picture book features gentle poems that imagine the breath of invisible life, and wonderful illustrations by an illustrator active in the largest animation production company in America. "A picture book overflowing with vibrant light!" raves Lee Unkrich, director of "Toy Story 3"! *Unused Heartfelt picture books, books for adults, foreign picture books, plays, theater, parent-child time, education, learning, English, reading aloud, picture books, bedtime storybooks, elementary school students, Anpanman, children's books, knowledge, observation, parenting, learning, cultivating thinking skills, habits, and brains, kindergarten, nursery school, world picture books, educational picture books, series picture books, art, Christmas picture books, Christmas tour, long-selling books, picture book sets, collections, rare, reading aloud, popular children's books, picture book bundles, picture book sets, Kodomo no Tomo, picture book bundles"
