When Willow speaks, her words slip out as soft and shy as a secret. At school, her barely audible whisper causes her no end of troubles. But Willow is as resourceful as she is quiet, and she fashions a magic microphone from items she finds in the recycling bin. But Willow's clever invention is only a temporary solution. How will this quiet little girl make herself heard? AGES: 3-7 AUTHOR: When Lana Button was young she transformed all of her rubber skipping ropes into microphones, and sang to large crowds of imaginary people in her bedroom. Today she lives with her husband, three daughters and her cat, Rocco, and spends much of her day singing and reading to small crowds of preschoolers. ILLUSTRATOR: Tania Howells graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 1997 and has been a freelance illustrator for 15 years. She is currently a stay-at-home mum, and after bedtime, she works on her drawings.

In another life, Tania might like to be a fabric designer, a librarian or even a small-town cafe owner. She sometimes has trouble saying things out loud, just like Willow. She likes coffee and tea, walks, reading books, daydreaming and baking things?
