Bookroo's summary

Wren craves peace from his noisy baby sister, but his escape to the countryside reveals more than just silence. As he navigates this new environment, Wren discovers that tranquility might not be the only thing he needs. Will he find the balance between chaos and calm, or will the countryside offer unexpected lessons? Join Wren on his journey to uncover what truly matters amidst the noise.

From the publisher

Sometimes we find what we’re looking for in the most unexpected places–for Wren, this means a little corner of quiet. Wren just wants a bit of peace and quiet. What he gets is the noisiest baby sister you could ever imagine! But when Wren runs away to the country, he discovers that maybe peace and quiet isn’t all he needs… With bright, modern illustrations from rising star Sophie Beer (Love Makes a Family and Kindness Makes Us Strong) and a powerfully simple story, any child (and any parent!) who’s ever had to deal with a noisy sibling will love Wren.

“I love the illustrations in this book, and they have the chaotic feel of a chaotic family, and give a great sense of the overstimulation poor Wren must be feeling with all the noise, noise, noise!”
