About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels small, overlooked, or frustrated by the loud and fast-paced world around them. It is a perfect choice for the quiet observer who is struggling to find their place in a group of more boisterous peers. The story follows Lily, a small sailboat in a harbor filled with giant, noisy ships. While Lily is often ignored because she lacks a booming horn, she eventually discovers that her unique perspective and soft voice are exactly what is needed to help others. Appropriate for ages 4 to 8, this nautical tale uses the metaphor of maritime travel to explore themes of self-worth and quiet leadership. Parents will appreciate how it validates the experience of being the 'little one' while modeling how to stand tall with confidence. It is a heartening reminder that being the biggest or loudest does not always mean being the most important.
