Winner at the 2014 Living Now Book Awards. Meet John. When he was at the age when other children begin to speak, John didn’t. And as he grew up, whenever he wanted to ask for something or express how he felt, he could only whistle.

A tale full of tenderness that touches the heart, reminding us that music is the true language of the soul and that our differences can be solved through good intentions and friendship.
