Can You Hear Me? Ekaterina Trukhan


Hello, little one!




Can you hear me? Listen! I’m calling out to you.



I can be as loud as a flock of birds singing joyfully…


or as quiet as a rustle of leaves on the ground.



Look! I can be huge and fluffy like clouds in the sky…



or be really tiny like a snail hiding under a leaf.

A poetic riddle that solicits all of your senses! Can you guess who is calling?
