By Ashley Franklin, Illustrated by Tatiana Gardel ( The Innovation Press – 2024 )
Xavier wishes his small voice were bigger and the anxious feeling he gets when trying to make friends were smaller. He makes many attempts to be louder, but he still can’t seem to connect with any of his classmates. As Xavier withdraws into the world of his sketchbook, he wonders: will he ever be able to make friends with such a small voice? Yes, it works! His small voice and big imagination turned out to be a super combination. >>> Tatiana Gardel’s books in SHI collection.

Xavierは、彼の小さな声がもっと大きくなり、友達を作るときの心配が小さくなるように願った。彼は声を出すことを何度も試みたが、彼のクラスメートには全く通用しなかった。Xavierはスケッチブックに描く世界を他の子と分け合いながら、この小さな行動が役立つのか心配であった。しかし、役立った!彼の小さな声と大きな創造力は、とてつもなく共鳴し合ったのだ。>>>SHIコレクションにあるTatiana Gardelの作品。
