Description

*Published by our sister imprint, Beaming Books 

An ode to introverts and quiet leaders.

Sometimes you need to be alone--to think and breathe. Other times you need to be with friends--those you know and those you've only just met. And sometimes everyone works together to create something wonderful.

What can one person do all alone? Quite a lot, actually. Even so, there are times it helps to work with others. With spare, lyrical text, bestselling author Pat Zietlow Miller celebrates the power of being alone--and of coming together with others--centered on the love of reading and creating community around books. This is a book about trusting yourself and your ideas, seeing a need, and connecting with others to meet it.

Perfect for introverts, quiet leaders, and anyone who loves books and little libraries.

Featured Reviews

A little girl who appears to be very introverted finds friends to help her achieve her dream of having a Little Free Library for books in her community. Cute read aloud for shy and quiet kids who have big ideas and need inspiration!
