Descripción: Review"Tailor-made for younger party lovers with a low tolerance for high decibels. A SHHHpecial treat for children who prefer to play it…soft." ― Kirkus Reviews"Hrab tackles an important topic with humor: how can we belong if we aren’t like everyone else? [A] nice social-emotional addition to any collection, this has a very quiet character carrying a rather loud message: All volumes welcome." ― School Library Journal"This delightful tale is perfect for bedtime and particularly for smalls who are sensitive to sound." ― The Small ProtagonistAn introverted snail throws his own kind of party to celebrate all things quietSnail is a party animal. Well...kind of. He loves the quiet things about parties: confetti, making new friends (using his indoor voice, of course), and the silence before everyone yells, “SURPRISE!” But when parties get loud, Snail retreats into his shell. He’s still partying, but no one can tell he’s having a good time while he’s tucked inside. His friends don’t understand why he doesn’t love loud parties like they do, and soon Snail’s party invites begin to dry up.In response, Snail decides to plan his own quiet party, complete with warm milk and lullaby lip-syncing. But something is missing―does Snail long for the “loud”after all? That’s when Stump, a fellow introvert, chimes in with an idea. Maybe Snail isn’t missing the “loud”…maybe he’s just missing a friendto share the quiet. Together, Stump and Snail turn the lullabies down low and celebrate “the shush” together.With comics-style storytelling and lovable characters, this hilarious tale makes quiet so fun that even the most extroverted readers will want to SHHHelebrate!About the AuthorNASEEM HRAB is a writer and storyteller, and the author of the Ira Crumb series, The Sour Cherry Tree, and Weekend Dad, which was a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Awards.
