One day, an old bear is spotted sitting on the hill behind the house, but when people speak to him, he doesn’t react. “Maybe he’s hard of hearing?“ A little girl has an idea: she builds a speaking tube to make her voice louder – and it works! The bear can understand her. And the tube works the other way around, too, as an ear trumpet. And just like that, the two of them are off on a voyage to discover the world of sound and all the stories it has to tell. An affectionate picture book about devotion, patience, awareness, and a very special friendship.
