"When a girl is unable to rid herself of a sudden annoying buzzing in her ear, she tries everything to make it go away. No one else can hear the buzz, and she feels lost and alone. Then, when it seems all hope is lost, she discovers an old music box in her attic. Magically, listening to the music helps to quiet the buzz and enables her to cope with her condition. With music as her constant companion, she's able to stay resilient, even on the toughest days. This simple but emotionally charged story is based on Shiva's own battle with sudden severe hearing loss as a child. One of her main symptoms is tinnitus, which creates a buzzing sound. While this is a specific issue, the overarching theme of learning to manage a challenge, whether mental or physical, will speak to all children. This is an inspirational story that will speak to anyone dealing with sudden change or learning to manage a challenging situation."--
