Description

Amos and Ann are two curious siblings who would rather chase a bluebird than sit still with a poem. One breezy afternoon they stumble across a mysterious figure whittling whistles beside a brook, his cap dusty green and his eyes twinkling with riddles. He introduces himself as J. M., the Journeying Man, and offers each child a handcrafted whistle that promises travel through rhyme. Intrigued, the children agree to follow him, trading their reluctance for a chance to explore a place called Zodiac Town.

The Journeying Man explains that the road to Zodiac Town winds through the land of Time, where every step must be spoken in verse. As they walk, the whistles pulse with melodic notes, guiding them past houses that smile and doors that chat, each month revealed in its own whimsical setting. The children quickly discover that rhyme is both a map and a language in this enchanted world, turning ordinary chatter into a playful puzzle. Their adventure invites listeners to imagine a town where days dance to the rhythm of poetry.
