WILLOW’S WHISPERS
Illustrated by Tania Howells
Published by Kids Can Press
ISBN 9781554537440

When Willow speaks, her words slip out as soft and shy as a secret. With a barely audible whisper, she is ignored most of the day. But Willow is as resourceful as she is quiet, and fashions something magic that helps. But Willow's clever invention is only a temporary solution. How will this quiet little girl make herself heard?

“A victory for any reader who struggles to be heard, even metaphorically”
—Kirkus Review, January 2010

“There is nothing cloying about the sweetness of this book. The playful use of font sizes, the simply drawn, brightly colored figures and, most of all, the perfect pitch of its text, see to that.”
— The Globe and Mail, May 2010
