About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels they have lost a special part of themselves or are struggling to find what makes them unique. This gentle, thoughtful story follows Hubert, a creature who has lost his personal 'hum', a sound that represents his inner joy and essence. He embarks on a quest, asking other animals for help, but soon learns that his hum isn't something external to be found, but a feeling that comes from within. The book is a beautiful, metaphorical exploration of self-confidence, identity, and the idea that our special qualities are an innate part of us. Its quiet, reassuring tone makes it a wonderful choice for sensitive children aged 5 to 8 who are beginning to navigate their own identity.
