In this picture book love letter to public libraries, 6-year-old Orson learns to navigate his big feelings by sharing his love of reading with newfound friends at his local branch.

When Orson visits his local library, he likes to sit and read quietly by himself. However, not everyone is on the same page. One day, when the library is buzzing with activities, Orson decides he’s had enough! But as he cools off after an emotional outburst, Orson begins to understand how much the library and its sometimes not-so-quiet community have to offer . . . and decides to turn things around.

Here’s a picture book about sharing a passion for books with friends, learning to cope with big feelings, and the joys of libraries.

“Gehl and Roth Sisson offer a winning library portrait in this evenhanded picture book…”—Publishers Weekly

The charming illustrations are drawn in pencil and digitally colored in appealing hues. Libraries are evolving, and this accessible SEL title presents one anyone would love to visit.” —Booklist

“A sweet tale that emphasizes the value of open-mindedness and community… Sisson’s art is delightfully cute and expressive.”—Kirkus Reviews

“What a great book to show how libraries can be a fun place to learn and share information.” — Nicole, Barbara’s Bookstore
