Waiting To Be Seen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184312576)

Martie understands waiting.

Life moves fast. It's easy to feel invisible when everyone around you is busy. Even at home, there is always something demanding attention-ordinary busy, tired busy, sometimes the kind of heavy busy that fills every room.

Then Martie discovers the Friend for Life Rescue Centre, where every animal is waiting for something too. Some are loud and impossible to ignore. Others, like the quiet creatures no one seems to notice, wait day after day for someone to finally see them.

As Martie returns again and again, she discovers she has more in common with the forgotten animals than she ever imagined. But when the rescue centre begins running out of time, Martie realizes that some hearts cannot wait forever to be seen.

Waiting to be Seen is a beautifully illustrated story for readers ages 8-12 about loneliness, kindness, belonging, and the quiet courage it takes to notice those others overlook.

Because sometimes being truly seen can change everything.
