About this listen

The trumpet is a heartwarming tale by beloved Japanese children’s author Nankichi Niimi.

An elderly man lived alone in the countryside. As his hearing worsened, he asked his son in the city to find a machine to help him hear again. The son searched everywhere but couldn’t afford a proper device. Instead, he sent his father a trumpet with simple instructions: “Hold it upside down to your ear and listen from the back.”

What happened next?

This touching story of love, creativity, and the bond between a poor father and son is perfect for reading aloud to children.
