How to Party Like a Snail

"A wildly charming, earnestly rendered 'SHHHellebration of the SHHHush.'"

Publishers Weekly - STARRED REVIEW

"Tailor-made for younger party lovers with a low tolerance for high decibels. A SHHHpecial treat for children who prefer to play it…soft."

Kirkus Reviews

"Hrab tackles an important topic with humor: how can we belong if we aren’t like everyone else? [A] nice social-emotional addition to any collection, this has a very quiet character carrying a rather loud message: All volumes welcome."

School Library Journal

"This delightful tale is perfect for bedtime and particularly for smalls who are sensitive to sound."

The Small Protagonist

"Although How to Party Like a Snail is written in a jovial and lighthearted manner, it introduces the reader to an important initiative – that is, increasing understanding and compassion toward introverts and sensory-sensitive individuals."

Canadian Review of Materials

"Hrab’s tale promotes inclusivity ... Children learn that while some people might like the loud, others thrive in the quiet, and just because a party is quiet, doesn’t mean it can’t be fun!"

Children’s Literature Comprehensive Database

"This could be a useful book for children who are hesitant to attend parties or playdates. Therapists or social workers may find it a worthy addition to their bibliotherapy toolbox."

Youth Services Book Review

"This charming story with wonderfully comic illustrations reminds young readers that they can be themselves, and still find someone who shares their interests."

Calgary Herald

"For those who often find parties too loud or rowdy, this book is a special affirmation that quieter parties are just as much fun as those that are not."

Canadian Children's Book News

"Hrab shares a positive message and highlights the fact that while noisy can be fun, quiet can be enjoyable as well."
