doki doki



I recently heard about this book: The Sound of Silence by Katrina Goldsaito, illustrated by Julia Kuo.  I haven't actually read it (yet) but there is a visual and auditory collage created by the author and illustrator which starts with the words, "Doki doki is the sound your heart makes when you see someone or something you love."  It's a beautiful glimpse into the spirit of the book and you can find it HERE.

    Hello !
    It's a very beautiful moment of poetry and as I don't understand lots of work of English,I'm rocked by her soothing voice. So, thank you a lot.
    Have a good day,

    I watched the video. Beautiful! Each page is a poem. What a cultural treat for a child. Thanks for sharing.

      You're welcome... I can't wait to read the book -- I hope our county library gets copies soon.
