Pico Finds His Sound

In a forest filled with music, every animal has a sound.

Elephants trumpet. Baby gorillas drum. Woodpeckers tap. Birds chirp and frogs croak.

But Pico the peacock isn't sure what sound he makes.

As the forest comes alive with rhythm, Pico listens carefully. He wants to join in-but how? Then he sways... just a little. To his surprise, his shimmering feathers begin to rustle and rattle softly, like a gentle rain stick. With each brave movement, Pico discovers that his sound has been part of him all along.

Soon, loud and soft, fast and slow, the different sounds blend together beneath the moonlit sky. And when they do, something beautiful happens.
