"A wildly charming, earnestly rendered 'SHHHellebration of the SHHHush.'"

- Publishers Weekly - STARRED REVIEW

"Tailor-made for younger party lovers with a low tolerance for high decibels. A SHHHpecial treat for children who prefer to play it…soft."

- Kirkus Reviews

"Hrab tackles an important topic with humor: how can we belong if we aren’t like everyone else? [A] nice social-emotional addition to any collection, this has a very quiet character carrying a rather loud message: All volumes welcome."

- School Library Journal

"This delightful tale is perfect for bedtime and particularly for smalls who are sensitive to sound."

- The Small Protagonist

"Although How to Party Like a Snail is written in a jovial and lighthearted manner, it introduces the reader to an important initiative – that is, increasing understanding and compassion toward introverts and sensory-sensitive individuals."

- Canadian Review of Materials

"Hrab’s tale promotes inclusivity ... Children learn that while some people might like the loud, others thrive in the quiet, and just because a party is quiet, doesn’t mean it can’t be fun!"

- Children’s Literature Comprehensive Database

"This could be a useful book for children who are hesitant to attend parties or playdates. Therapists or social workers may find it a worthy addition to their bibliotherapy toolbox."

- Youth Services Book Review

"This charming story with wonderfully comic illustrations reminds young readers that they can be themselves, and still find someone who shares their interests."
