John Marco is busy, too—noticing the world around him. Maybe everyone should slow down and listen to John Marco. If they do, they might discover some pretty amazing things. They just need to pay attention. Like John Marco does.

“A sweet reminder to slow down and notice the world around us.”
Kirkus Reviews

“[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

“This is a quirky tale that many little ones will relate to.”
School Library Journal

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.”
