Hedda is a loud child, at least if you ask Dad. He spends most of the day in his study working. This means he is focused on scribbling important things on paper, making phone calls, or listening to messages. Heddas noise bothers him. Hedda finds this very strange because Dad never complains about the barking neighbor dogs, the revving motorcycle outside the window, or the thumping washing machine in the kitchen. Those really make noise. She, on the other hand, is just playing. Soccer in the hallway, for example. Of course, that makes some noise too. It's also clear that when playing scare games, she has to shout "Boo" really loudly, that she can't blow softly into Grandma's trumpet, and that Skitty, her broomstick wild horse, clatters with its hooves. Hedda has to find a way to pass the time with a dad who is always rubbing his temples, working all the time, and never playing with her. Hedda thinks it's really unfair that Dad keeps asking her to be quiet, and it makes her very angry. And extra loud. All the anger over the injustice and Dad's busyness bursts forth. Hedda stomps, screams, and cries much louder than the washing machine, the dogs, or the motorcycle. An important story for children and parents. It invites reflection on needs and compromises. Great, contemporary illustrations. Dad is completely shocked. Shocked by what his behavior does to Hedda. He doesn’t want Hedda to always have to hold back. Dad comforts Hedda, and they both discover that there are really good times to be loud together. Or quiet. An important book for parents and children that shows how we can be considerate of each other and keep everyone's needs in mind.
