A parent might reach for this book when their normally quiet or shy child is struggling to speak up in school or social situations. It's perfect for kids who feel overlooked or have trouble finding the right words. The story is about Gabby, a very shy girl who receives a magical "gift of gab" from a talking parrot. Suddenly, she's the wittiest, most talkative kid in her class. This early chapter book uses humor and a touch of fantasy to explore themes of self-confidence, friendship, and the importance of using your voice thoughtfully and kindly. It's a gentle, entertaining way to open a conversation about the power of words, both for good and for causing unintentional hurt, making it a great choice for children learning to navigate social dynamics.
