Sound -- in both science and history -- is explored in this dynamic, illustrated nonfiction picture book from award-winning author-illustrator Olga Fadeeva.

Do you ever wonder about sound--what is it, anyway?

How do we produce and hear sound? How do birds, dolphins, and humans use sounds to communicate? What does life look like without sound? How has the sound of music developed over the centuries? How are sounds sent across thousands of miles? How has technology--phonographs, cassettes, radio, computers--changed how we share sound? Can sounds even affect our health?

Author Olga Fadeeva (Wind: Discovering Air in Motion, Water: Discovering the Precious Resource All Around Us) explores sound's vital role on our planet in this playful, wide-ranging tour through physics, technology, musicology, language, and more. Throughout the book, "Try It!" sections encourage children to create their own sound experiments.

Translated from Russian by Lena Traer, and part of Eerdmans' Spectacular STEAM for Curious Readers series.
