Description
A captivating picture book about a very soft-spoken little girl's ultimately successful struggle to find her own voice.
When Willow speaks, her words slip out as soft and shy as a secret. At school, her barely audible whisper causes her no end of troubles. But Willow is as resourceful as she is quiet, and she fashions a magic microphone from items she finds in the recycling bin.
But Willow's clever invention is only a temporary solution. How will this quiet little girl make herself heard?
