A flock of finches live in harmony together, but are so noisy that no one can hear themselves think. When Henry Finch has a moment of quiet, he experiences his thoughts for the first time. Facing a beast and his own thoughts, Henry learns about the journey of self-discovery and bravery through triumphs and failures alike. This story serves as an introduction to philosophical thought and individuality. The illustrations cleverly emphasize the uniqueness of everyone's thoughts and personalities by utilizing fingerprints as the bodies of the finches.
