Paro, a little sparrow, had never left his nature park. Attracted by the tales of exciting city life, recounted by a worldly owl, Hooty, and a flamboyant woodpecker, Beecstar, Paro flies out with his friends to celebrate Christmas in the city. Unfortunately, the ground is covered in snow and food is scarce. Spying a blind busker entertaining an enthusiastic crowd with festive tunes, a starving Paro wonders if busking could help the birds to get money, to pay for their food and shelter in the city. Will the birds survive? This fun tale, ending with a surprising twist, brings festive cheer to all, with parts encouraging families and friends to sing along with the story's characters.

This fun festive book, in addition to playfully suggesting that you shouldn't always believe everything that you hear, is designed to promote an interest in audiobook narration, particularly among the visually impaired of all ages. The book's large fonts that are easy on the eyes, on cream paper that cuts off background glare, clear presentation with paced out paragraphs, without bold font and italics, and the story's emphasis of non-visual cues address the needs of this group.

This book is suited for audiobook narration competitions involving participants spread across vast areas, especially children. Freely available video conferencing software allows anybody, anywhere to get together for fun activities, with minimal resources, overcoming the physical barriers of travel and associated costs.

In essence, this book addresses the scarcity of customized reading materials for people with visual disabilities and seeks to promote fun activities that are suitable for this group.
