About the Book
"When loud-voiced Penelope becomes student-librarian, she is determined to prove she is perfect for the job while staying true to herself--Book Synopsis
A little librarian with a larger-than-life voice finds her place in this sweet and uproarious picture book about being true to yourself--no shushing required! Penelope is perfect for the job of student-librarian. Friendly? Check. Helpful? Check. Book lover? Check. There's just one snag. Penelope is...LOUD. Bookcases may topple and the ground may quake at the sound of her voice, but Penelope is determined to prove she's perfect for the job and stay true to herself. Can a little librarian with a big voice find a place where she belongs?Review Quotes
"In possession of vocal cords so loud they are registered by the International Space Station, would-be student-librarian Penelope struggles to reconcile her volume with the need for a "library voice" in Beatrice's over-the-top story. . . Jones's scenes lean fully into the chaos while showcasing Penelope's cheerful resilience, and a clever conclusion emphasizes the idea that there's a place for everyone at the library."--Publishers Weekly
"Character diversity is present and prominent throughout the pages . . . fun to read aloud. . . Recommended." --School Library Connection
"Finally, the secret's out: librarians can be loud! . . . Jones's mixed-media and collage illustrations are playful and eye-catching, with a three-dimensional feel. Penelope's shouts explode across the page in giant speech bubbles. . . This one is sure to be a storytime favorite." --The Horn Book
"The bright, blocky illustrations are pitch-perfect for the tone . . . This tale of an aspiring librarian is ideal for all kinds of storytimes." --Kirkus Reviews
