For this little girl, a steady beat is a happy one. Having space to breathe helps her smile. She says it fills her heart and soul with glee.
Whereas a combination of fast rhythm and loud music feels overwhelming. She needs to block this out, to be alone, because otherwise everything will remain confusing. But this isn’t her showing rudeness to anybody.

I read this book as part of the reading challenge boxes. It is a little hard for me as I’m only young, so I read it with some help from my mum and managed about three wuarters of the words. The rhymes were really good and I enjoyed xx
