I'm Trying To Tell You Something!
By John "Gampa" Jaszcz & Robert "Bumpy" Livernois
Illustrated by Andre Buford, Jr.
The story follows Nora, a young girl navigating a world full of overwhelming noise—fireworks, buses, headphones, concerts, and power tools—while trying to communicate an important message: our ears need protection. Through a recurring refrain and interactive prompts, the book engages young readers while reinforcing themes of hearing health and self-advocacy.
With its combination of rhythmic storytelling, real-world scenarios, and an empowering message, I’m Trying to Tell You Something! is well suited for home reading, classroom use, library collections, and health-focused educational programs. It also has strong potential for placement in audiology clinics and community outreach settings.
