In this poignant parable about the power of the human spirit, the town grows increasingly annoyed by P'ngh's incessant singing. Whenever P'ngh (pronounced "Ping") sings, people SHOUT: "P'ngh, please, PLEASE don't sing " But when external forces an earthquake threaten to silence P'ngh's unusual voice forever, it is then that the town realizes P'ngh's greatest gift. Please Don't Sing is a story for children 4 to 7 years old. Any child who has suffered a loss, been teased for being different, or whose passion has been quelled by ridicule or discouragement, will be touched by P'ngh's blissful ignorance and everlasting spirit.

Young children are bound to follow along and shout, "P'ngh, please don't sing " But despite its easy text, Please Don't Sing is a mighty lesson in a short story (250 words) that is, the human spirit lives forever The book is dedicated in part "to the lost loved ones and survivors of the world's natural disasters."
