SYNOPSIS
Moonchild was blowing bubbles.
Big, pearly moon bubbles they were, floating off into outer space.
Some burst upon the spikes of stars.
Some floated all the way to earth and burst wherever they landed.
One bubble pops on an Earth baby - Little Prince Orla - and surrounds him in silence.
He can no longer hear the sounds of the earth.
He doesn’t answer when his mother and father call his name.
His parents are devastated when they realize that their baby cannot hear or speak.
But hope comes from the mysterious Moonbird who takes Orla on a mystical journey to the magical Moongarden, where marvelous creatures teach him how to speak with his hands and listen with his eyes.
But will his parents understand him?
