Bookroo's summary

In a world where communication is both daunting and unavoidable, this picture book explores the delicate dance of self-expression. Through a creative metaphor of 'ping' and 'pong,' it delves into the fears and joys of sharing oneself. Will the courage to connect triumph over anxiety? Discover a heartwarming journey that inspires all ages to embrace their voice and reach out to others.

From the publisher

With the visual ingenuity of Press Here and the emotional resonance of What Do You Do with a Problem?, this wise and timely book about the fragile art of personal connection will strike a chord with children and adults alike. In the era of social media, communication feels both more anxiety-producing, and more inescapable, than ever before. This clever, comforting picture book debut explores the challenges and joys of self-expression and social connection. Using an imaginative visual metaphor to bring to life how we send out ( ping!) and receive ( pong!) communications, Ani Castillo’s words and pictures will empower and inspire anyone who has experienced the fear of sharing themselves with the world. With an artful, accessible package, an eloquent message, and a lot of heart, here is a new classic to bring courage and comfort to humans of all ages.
