My City Speaks

Recommended Ages: 4-7

Written by Darren LeBeuf and Ashley Barron.

A young girl who is visually impaired joyfully explores her beloved city alongside her father. Together, they visit familiar spots like the playground, community garden, market, and an outdoor concert. With delightful and poetic precision, the girl shares her sensory experiences, describing her city as a place that "rushes and stops, and waits and goes." It "pitters and patters, and drips and drains," filled with sounds that "echo" and "trill," offering both "smelly" and "sweet" moments. Her city sings with "dings and dongs, rattles and roars," but perhaps the most magical times are when it simply listens.
