In "A Snail in Need of Space," we meet Marjorie, a snail who cherishes her alone time. Although she loves her family and friends, sometimes the world becomes too overwhelming and she needs to take a step back. But no matter where she goes, she always leaves a trail that well-meaning snails seem to follow. Marjorie searches far and wide for the perfect hiding spot and finally discovers one. But will she be able to find her way back home without leaving a trail? Fortunately, her friend Bernard comes to her rescue and shares his secret to remaining undiscovered. Together they find solace in each other's company, sometimes playing games and other times enjoying the peace and quiet of simply being alone whilst in each other's company.

A sweet portrayal of introversion and the need for solitude. The story is relatable, and many children will be able to identify with Marjorie's desire for alone time. It's refreshing to see a book that celebrates introversion and doesn't make the introverted character conform to societal expectations. This is a great book for parents to read with their children, helping them to understand and accept different personality types.
