Official synopsis Publisher
A girl discovers that music helps her to cope with the buzzing in her ear
The buzz is constant and distracting, but no one else seems to hear it. It’s as if a bee has chosen the girl’s ear as its home. She tries to make it go away, but the buzzing is relentless–and the more it buzzes, the lonelier she feels. When a doctor diagnoses the girl with tinnitus, a condition that’s incurable, it seems all hope is lost.
Then, the girl discovers an old music box in her attic. Magically, listening to the music quiets the buzz and helps her to cope with her condition. With music as her constant companion, she’s able to stay resilient, even on the toughest days.
Based on the author’s own battle with hearing loss and tinnitus, this inspirational story uses spare text and charming illustrations to connect with anyone dealing with sudden change.
