You Are So Loud

One is loud, one is quiet, but somehow it works in this charming picture book about friendship, making space for each other, and celebrating differences.

Meet two friends who couldn’t be more different. One dances at parties, and one hides. One makes messy paintings, and one keeps things neat. And when too much loud gets tiring or too much quiet gets frustrating, a little time apart lets these two best friends come back together closer than ever.

This gentle tale highlights the importance of having friends who are different from you and the joy that comes from truly seeing and accepting others for who they are—and being seen and accepted in return.
