What is the sound of my instrument?

Is a two-volume book the first part belongs to world instruments and the second part belongs to Iranian instruments. The text of the book is poetic and in each frame it introduces an instrument with the animal that plays it.
At the end of each section, a child is added to the animal ensemble while singing. Their celebration is held on the beach and is completed by combining the sound of instruments with the sound of the sea and the song of a child.
The illustrator also uses the shapes of the instruments symbolically in the background of the illustrations, transforming their location into instruments and creating a new meaning by useing them in the form of music.

In the next layer, the writer and illustrator in the Iranian section have tried to deal with endangered Iranian species such as the ‏Neurergus kaiseri, Iranian ground jay, Hawksbill Turtle and the Iranian Cheetah and etc, which can be talked about them with children.
