her dreams are big. And Small discovers that when you dream big,
anything - and everything - can happen. Small's Big Dream is the

debut illustrator Amanda Quartey. Manjeet Mann is the author of the
Costa Children's Book Award winning The Crossing and critically

A profound story about inner strength and perseverance in the face
of a life-changing event, from the award-winning author of The
Bubble Boy. Perfect for fans of R. J. Palacio's Wonder and Lisa
Thompson's The Goldfish Boy. 'A wonderful book about overcoming a
life-changing event and the remarkable power of music.' - Lisa
Thompson, author of The Goldfish Boy Life is going well for Sophie.
She's getting by at school, has some pretty awesome friends, and
their band have made it through to the semifinals of the Battle of
the Bands competition. But when Sophie wakes up completely deaf one
morning, the life she once knew seems like a distant memory. With
lessons replaced by endless hospital appointments, and
conversations now an exercise in lip-reading, Sophie grows quieter
and quieter. Until she discovers the vibrations of sound through an
old set of drums and wonders whether life onstage is actually still
within reach. Drawing on the author's own hearing impairment, Can
You Feel the Noise? is a deeply personal and moving story that will
stay with you long after reading. Praise for Can You Feel the
Noise? 'Powerful, moving and uplifting. This beautifully-told story
highlights the gift of perseverance.' - Polly Ho-Yen, author of Boy
in the Tower 'A moving, empathy-boosting, and hopeful story about a
young musician navigating hearing loss.' - Rashmi Sirdeshpande,
author of Think Like a Boss 'A sensitive and brilliant story of
hearing loss, full of humour and hope.' - A. M. Howell, author of
The Garden of Lost Secrets
