When it comes to talking, August James is the island’s reigning champion. Whether in the barbershop, at the market, or on his porch with friends, he always has the last word — until the day his lips decide they’ve had enough.
After a fiery fairy named Jesenia casts a spell that silences him, August must learn to listen — really listen — to the people and world around him. From missed conversations to surprising discoveries, he finds that quiet can hold more truth than a thousand clever words.
Set on the colorful island of Santa Lúa, The Day My Lips Went on Strike blends humor, culture, and heart to remind readers that listening is its own kind of magic.
About the Live & Learn Series
The Live & Learn Series is an eight-book collection that transforms everyday experiences into unforgettable life lessons. Each story explores a core social or emotional skill — listening, empathy, patience, honesty, or courage — through characters who stumble, grow, and try again.
As readers follow August and others through relatable challenges, they’ll discover that interpersonal skills aren’t just manners — they’re the foundation of strong friendships, family ties, and self-understanding.
Through vibrant storytelling, humor, and heart, Live & Learn invites young readers to laugh, reflect, and recognize that the best lessons don’t come from a classroom — they come from how we treat one another.
