About This Book
Reach for this book when your child has been told to quiet down once too often, or when they feel like their natural intensity is a problem for the people around them. It is a wonderful resource for children who possess big personalities and loud voices that frequently clash with quiet environments like classrooms or homes. The story follows Emily, a girl in a 19th-century whaling town whose booming voice is seen as a nuisance until she finds her true calling at sea. Through Emily's journey, children learn that what others call a flaw might actually be a unique gift waiting for the right setting. It is a visually stunning, historically flavored tale that promotes self-confidence and the search for belonging, perfectly suited for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating their place in a world that sometimes feels too small for them.
