About The Book

"Please be soft," says Father.
"Please do whisper," says Mother.

Emily doesn't mean to be loud. But whenever she says anything in her Emily voice, windows crack, plates shatter, and the neighbors can't believe their ears. Emily tries and tries but she just can't be quiet. It seems like there's nowhere she fits in...until the day she sees a ship with a sign that says:
LOUD HELP NEEDED.
NOW.
Nobody's louder than Emily! So she sets sail for an adventure on the high seas, looking for a place where she can be herself. Loud Emily.
Climb aboard for a memorable tall tale of ships, whales, and a little girl with a very BIG voice.
