Overview

What if the world felt too loud-and the quietest friend in the room knew how to really listen? In a rain-washed city neighborhood of leafy streets and glowing windows, eleven-year-old Leo discovers that sensitivity isn't ""too much""-it's another way to pay close attention. When a small, round robot with gentle, luminous eyes rolls into his life, it doesn't try to fix his feelings. Obiwey listens. He asks first, shows when he's present, and reminds everyone that sometimes ""off"" is the kindest choice. For parents of a highly sensitive child: this story offers practical, humane language you can use tonight. Try ""Do you want me to listen or help?"" Model short, steady rituals-a one-minute pause at the sink, noticing three quiet things after school, or a simple breathing rhythm kids can remember: Ocean In, Turtle Out (inhale softly through the nose for four, exhale long for six). Small choices add up. Rooms feel safer. Conversations feel kinder. Family life gets easier to navigate. For educators and caregivers: you'll find consent-first scripts and routines that travel well-classroom check-ins, visible ""on/off"" cues for tech, and gentle boundaries that protect attention. Kids practice calm without shame; adults practice presence without pressure. For readers 8-12 (and the grown-ups who love them): this is a warm city story where technology is kind, friendship grows through boundaries, and quiet courage can change a whole block. Scenes move from rainy balconies to kitchen counters, from park benches to school hallways-ordinary places where noticing, breathing, and asking permission turn stress into steadying routines. What you'll find inside: Consent in action: asking first, honoring no, and keeping ""off means off."" Calm strategies that fit real life: one-minute arrivals, gentle breathwork, and ""soft corners."" Privacy-aware choices: clear, kid-friendly status cues for when devices are ""listening."" A hopeful arc: from ""I'm too sensitive"" to ""my sensitivity guides me."" Reading age: 8-12 Themes: emotions & feelings, empathy, consent, privacy, friendship, family routines Tone: warm, reflective, reassuring Length: 164 pages Educational, not medical. Practices are optional, brief, and consent-first.
