Page 70 - Hmmm M the Humdinger Flipbook for HARP Sept 27 2020

Hmmm: M the Humdinger by Dorothy Lander is a complex,

multilayered, online Flipbook that uses text, spoken word and

humming to tell the story of a child who communicates by

humming.

It begins with fascinating facts about the value of humming,

including examples of the range of emotions that humming can

convey, its deep history and healing properties.

The story encompasses a wealth of information, from medical

specialties to such obscure items of interest as the clockwise

twining of honeysuckle versus the counter clockwise twining of

bindweed. The text is accompanied by complex images of

pressed flowers and insects, many of which are identified in the

extensive material at the back.
