About this audiobook

What if the world felt too loud, and the quietest friend in the room knew how to really listen? In a rainy, Latin American-inspired city neighborhood, eleven-year-old Leo discovers that sensitivity is a strength, not a flaw. When Obiwey, a small robot with gentle eyes, enters his life, it doesn’t try to fix his feelings. Instead, Obiwey models consent and calm—asking first, making listening visible, and showing that sometimes “off” is the kindest choice. For the highly sensitive child who feel rushed or unseen, Leo’s small rituals offer comfort and steady courage. For families and educators, the story provides simple, practical ways to make care and presence part of every day. This warm, hopeful tale shows how boundaries can grow friendships, technology can be kind, and quiet courage can change a whole room. By the end, you’ll find yourself with new rituals and the sense that listening is love in action.
