Praise for The Quiet Book…

"This gentle picture book subtly explores the many different kinds of "quiet." Bears, rabbits, porcupines, mice, owls, moose, and wombats are depicted in situations that effectuate the notion of quiet throughout the daily life of a young child...A delightful and enchanting choice for storytime or sharing one-on-one."--School Library Journal, starred review

"The most moving scenes leave space for imagining."Best friends don't need to talk," for example, is illustrated with a blissful scene of togetherness that children will relate to their own lives."--Booklist

"There are many kinds of quiet," Underwood (Pirate Mom) writes, and this treasure of a book--which is appropriately gentle in both its understated text and artwork--catalogues many sorts of quiet that readers will recognize instantly...Underwood's taxonomy of quiet will evoke soft smiles from listeners who are getting ready for a "bedtime kiss" quiet (and possibly, even later, for "What flashlight?" quiet).--Publishers Weekly

"This gallery of quietude works for bedtime or calming down while also acknowledging that some quiet moods are less than happy...The final sequence--a nighttime car ride in the snow, peaceful steps to bedtime--makes a comforting end. Liwska colors her finely hatched pencil drawings with low-value, low-intensity hues, matching the theme of low aural volume with a muted but detailed visual quality that invites a close look. Soothing and layered."--Kirkus
