Kavi Goes on a Sound Hunt
Kavi cups a wing to one ear 🦉. "Shhh… listen! The world is full of sounds. A whisper is soft 🤫, but thunder is loud ⚡. A tiny bird sings high 🐦, and a big drum booms low 🥁." Then Kavi covers both ears. "Some sounds are TOO loud and can hurt our ears — so we keep sound at a safe level. Come on a sound hunt with me!"
