Book Summary
A picture book that addresses the need to talk and to be heard with humor and tenderness. Martí cannot keep quiet: he chatters all the time, even while he sleeps. Through his story, readers will discover that communication is a powerful tool, but that it is also important to know how to find the right time for everything. A work that invites reflection on managing speech and active listening.

Through his daily adventures, the story shows how Martí learns to manage his chatter, discovering that talking is wonderful, but that listening and choosing the right moment is, too.
