A sweet and colorful embrace for quiet kids. Might be a little long for a group story time.

All introverts rejoice! This book is a great way to introduce to students the idea that not everyone is the same, not everyone liked loud noise. We need to make sure we learn to communicate our wants and how we feel. Such a great way to introduce to children!

This was adorable! We follow Snail as he goes to a few parties. But Snail isn't really a fan of loud noises. So Snail decides to throw his own quiet party with his friend Stump. They do all the fun things, listen to quiet songs, wear comfy pajamas, and get in blanket burritos. Overall this was a fantastic, cute book and I would highly recommend it!

This is a fun picture book that will get kids laughing, but also could jumpstart some discussions about sensory issues and how different people experience the world in different ways. Snail likes parties, but gets a little overwhelmed when it is too loud. Eventually, he stops getting invited to parties because the other animals don't understand why he doesn't act the same as them. Instead, he throws his own party that fits his own needs and that of his friend Stump, who shares his preferences. Recommend for elementary up!

This book is adorable! Snail likes to party- quietly. Snail accepts themselves as a quiet, introverted little creature that they are.
Sometimes others don’t understand Snail’s love for quiet. But it’s ok.
I think this is a great book for introverted kids! Thanks Netgalley for this advanced copy.
