**Thank you to NetGalley, author Jaclyn Desforges, and Annick Press Ltd. for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.**

This is a beautiful story. I found it extremely relatable as I was a very quiet, introverted child growing up. Desforges crafts a story that focuses on the beauty and acceptance of being a listener, and this is an extremely important message to share with children. 

I liked the simple illustrations and colors in the drawings, but I was thrown off a bit by the lack of detail on the characters' faces, besides Myra Louise's and like two others. This did not take away from the story in any way, though.
