Charlie Ives hears the world differently. Clocks, church bells, wagons, dogs, crickets, and voices all become part of the music forming in his mind.
This picture-book biography follows Charles Ives from a listening child to an original composer whose bold sounds confused many people before they were understood. Instead of treating everyday noise as a problem, Charlie finds rhythm, surprise, and possibility in it.
Mordicai Gerstein makes sound feel visible on the page, using energetic illustrations to show how crowded and alive Charlie's hearing world could be. Readers interested in music, creativity, and people who think differently will find an inspiring story about trusting what you notice, even when others do not hear it yet.
