A wry picture book about a little boy who cant get anyone to listen to him. But maybe everyone should slow down and hear what he has to say. If they dont, they could end up in trouble. If they do, they might discover some pretty amazing things. They just need to pay attention. Like John Marco does.
"[A] magical portrayal of one of those strange and giddy moments that makes an indelible impression on one's imagination. Best of all, it succeeds in proving that John Marco (and what he notices) is worth everyone's attention."--Publishers Weekly
"Ivy and Bean author Barrows turns her sights to younger readers in her picture-book debut about an observant little boy trying to be heard. An engaging, playful, and relatable story that is pertinent to today's nonstop lifestyles."--Booklist
"This is a quirky tale that many little ones will relate to." -- School Library Journal
