Quiet KarimaBy: Nidhi Chanani Illustrator: Nidhi Chanani Even if youre quiet, you can still be loud! Without silence, there is no music. Karima is quiet. Shed prefer to listen to the world than to talk. In fact, she listens to the chirps, thuds, and squeaks all around her, and in everything she hears a melody or a beat. As she journeys to her music class, she soaks up all the sounds along the way, until she is ready to perform a song that is uniquely her own.
