• About Personal experiences: Have we experienced similar feelings? How and when? We can recall our journeys, adventures, moments, and various experiences.
• About Seas and nature: What does the sea remind us of? Which seas have we visited? What other natural places do we know? We can compare them: how are they similar or different?

The book stands out as the illustrations tell the story without words. Let’s play “Pictionary.” We can agree on signals that indicate things and guess them through movements.

We can take a tour around the house, and listen to the sounds emanating from each room, and try to define it: is it a rattle, a tick, or a buzz? We can also listen to the voices outside: How do the sounds coming from outside differ from the ones inside?

We may search with our child for other items in our near environment that complement the song of Zena, such as: brrring, brrring/…it rings. We may add new sounds that match the objects we find, and form a choir like Zena’s!
