A slice-of-life picture book that explores understanding different everyday noises—and learning communication and consideration. In a country filled with apartment buildings, conflicts over floor noise have become all too common. Those who can no longer endure it go upstairs to complain, and sometimes neighbors even end up in serious arguments.
One day, the apartment building where animals live grows noisy. “Who could it be? What is that sound?” Cats using a massager, a tiger doing the dishes, an elephant drawing pictures—who on earth is making such loud noises? “I can’t take this anymore!” They go up floor by floor, knocking on doors. Who is the real source of the noise? Sounds that seem trivial in everyday life can feel overwhelmingly loud to those living downstairs. But the moment neighbors recognize each other’s discomfort, they begin to apologize, and their frozen hearts slowly melt. With everyone showing a little consideration, what will tomorrow look like in Forest Village Apartments?
