Bookroo's summary

In a world that values noise, a quiet child embraces their own voice. Misunderstood as shy or scared, they find contentment in silence. But what if the world needs to learn to listen instead? This heartwarming tale celebrates the beauty of being a wallflower, inviting readers to see the strength in quietude and the power of being true to oneself. Discover how every wallflower has the potential to bloom in their own time, challenging perceptions and redefining what it means to be heard.

From the publisher

People call you a wallflower.Sometimes they call you shy. Sometimes they call you quiet, or maybe even scared. People think these are bad things, because sometimes they are LOUD. But you are happy just the way you are. And maybe you don’t need to learn to be loud, they just need to learn to listen. Mackenzie Joy beautifully pairs her gorgeous illustrations with minimalist text in this heartwarming book that doesn’t just acknowledge shy children, but celebrates them–because every wallflower deserves their chance to grow.
