Into a world where it often seems nobody is listening comes a
poignant story that celebrates the power of silence. "Why are you
so quiet?" Her teacher implores it, her classmates shout it, even
her mom wonders it. Everyone, it seems, is concerned for Myra
Louise. So, in search of an answer to the tiresome question nobody
will stop asking, she invents a listening machine. If the
raindrops, or the crickets, or the dryers at the laundromat can
tell her why they're so quiet, maybe Myra Louise can finally make
everybody understand. But the more she listens, the less interested
she becomes in finding any answer at all. Because Myra Louise comes
to realize that all she really needs is someone else to listen
alongside her. With gorgeous illustrations from Risa Hugo, Jaclyn
Desforges's first picture book champions introversion and the value
of being a listener, a thinker, and an observer in our increasingly
loud world.

Author-illustrator June Tate makes her debut with a heartwarming
picture book comparing the seemingly small but tenderly profound
moments hidden in our world. A modern-day classic in the making for
fans of Margaret Wise Brown and William Steig. This extraordinary
book focuses on the everyday moments that slow the world down for
us: a hug from someone we haven't seen in a long time, the soft
spot behind a cat's ear, a ladybug landing on your arm. And in the
end, the answer to the question of what's sweeter rings truest of
all. The perfect gift for occasions ranging from celebrations like
birthdays and graduation to a just-because gift appreciating
someone. Pass this book to the sweetest around you.
