In this 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 book about sharing a passion for books with friends, learning to cope with big feelings, and the joys of libraries.
