“Join local translator, Monica Meneghetti, at Cafe Books for an exciting signing of the children's book 'A Place Just For Me'.

An adorable picture book for young readers about the importance of finding a quiet spot to ourselves where we can think, dream, and just be.

Silver is the youngest mouse in a big family. He’d love to have a quiet spot all to himself to do what he likes best: absolutely nothing! But it is almost impossible in his burrow. His noisy siblings are playing ball, dancing, and listening to music. His parents are busy cooking, building gadgets and reading books.

What should Silver do? He tries to find refuge in the burrows belonging to his forest friends, but finding a place all to himself is harder than he thought.

Filled with stunning illustrations, A Place Just For Me is a charming reminder of honoring our own spaces and finding a quiet spot to think in our busy world.”
