A heartwarming children's story about Alexander Graham Bell, the magic of sound, and the invention that connected the world.

Before he became the inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell was just a curious little boy named Alec—with bright eyes, a busy mind, and a love for sounds.

From the cheerful chatter in his Scottish home to the quiet hum of a piano string, young Alec explored the world through listening, feeling, and wondering. But it was his deep love for his mother, who was deaf, that inspired a lifelong passion: to help people communicate through sound.

Join Alec as he experiments with tin cans, tickles throats with vibrations, and discovers how "wiggles" make music, speech, and magic. As he grows, so does his curiosity—until one day, his questions lead to something that would change the world forever: the telephone.

📚 Perfect for readers ages 4–8, this inspiring story:

  • Introduces children to the early life of Alexander Graham Bell
