Jack is very quiet. His busy, rumbustious family is VERY NOISY. Sometimes it seems as if no one really hears what he has to say - or is it that they are just not listening properly? It takes the help of an imaginary friend and encounters with a lost wolf cub and a terrifying grizzly bear for Jack to grow in confidence and find his own voice.
