Review
A victory for any reader who struggles to be heard, even metaphorically.―Kirkus Reviews
There is nothing cloying in regards to the sweetness of this book. The playful use of font sizes, the simply drawn, brightly colored figures and, so much of all, the very best pitch of its text, see to that.―The Globe and Mail
Shy, quiet kids will take heart at Willow's small victories.―Quill & Quire
Limited text and easy sentences, combined with a strong character who solves her own problems, make this a successful selection.―School Library Journal

How will this quiet little girl make herself heard?
