Orson and the World's Loudest Library cover

When Orson visits his local library, he likes to sit and read quietly by himself. However, not everyone is on the same page as him. One day, when the library is buzzing with activities like read-alouds and book club, Orson decides he’s had enough and lets everyone know how he really feels! But when he goes to cool off in a quiet room after his emotional outburst, he realises that he may be missing out on all that the library and its sometimes not-so-quiet community have to offer.
Here is a story for book lovers who love trips to the library, kids with big feelings, and readers learning to share their passion for books with new friends.
