Why Are You So Quiet?

Timely theme: Social and Emotional Learning titles continue to be parent favorites. This book beautifully celebrates introversion and listening.    The story underscores that there’s nothing wrong with being quiet; it’s other people who need to learn how to understand her way of being.
Strong protoganist: Myra Louise is quiet--and inventive and couragous! In Myra Louise we have a character who notices details, is sensitive to her environment, imaginative and creative. She’s an observer, an artist, an inventor, a maker… a problem solver. 
Gorgeous illustration: Risa Hugo's images are as inventive as Myra Louise
