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.
