- More about Why Are You So Quiet?
A young girl creates a listening machine to understand why everyone is so quiet, but she soon realizes that all she needs is someone else to listen alongside her. This book champions introversion and the value of being a listener, thinker, and observer in our increasingly loud world.
Format: Hardback
Length: 32 pages

Publisher: Annick Press Ltd
In a world where it often seems like nobody is listening, comes a poignant story that celebrates the power of silence. "Why are you so quiet?" her teacher implores, her classmates shout, even her mom wonders. 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 Desforgess' first picture book champions introversion and the value of being a listener, a thinker, and an observer in our increasingly loud world.
