Quiet

From award-winning children’s book author Tomie dePaola, "Quiet"begins in a lively park, where a grandfather, a boy, and a girl are observing all the activity around them. Everything and everyone is busy! Birds fly, dogs chase, frogs jump, and the wind blows. The grandfather suggests they sit and just be…be still, be quiet. Soon everything else rests too – the boy and the girl realize it’s o.k. to be still and quiet. The soft, pastel-colored illustrations gently remind us that quiet is essential. An excellent choice for preschool or early elementary group reading!
