When she seeks refuge, her friends and family inevitably trail behind her, leaving a trail of slime in their wake. Pondering the question of how to find personal space, Marjorie embarks on a journey of exploration, wandering aimlessly through various directions. However, the exhilaration of solitude is fleeting, and she soon realizes that she has lost her way. Fortunately, she encounters a kind-hearted friend who assists her in finding her way back and imparts valuable advice.

It delves into the disjunction that children and adults, particularly in the post-lockdown era, experience between their introverted and extroverted selves. Through the captivating narrative and vibrant illustrations, this story offers a poignant exploration of the importance of embracing and understanding both sides of our personalities, allowing us to find harmony and balance in our lives.
