The Quiet Book (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

Written by Deborah Underwood, Illustrated by Renata Liwaska, 2010. I LOVE this book! It is so simple but yet makes you think about the different kinds of quiet there are. I believe it would be a great book to use for all ages to get kids thinking and pondering, just to see what they can come up with. I think the list would be endless and it would be interesting to compare the differences different ages of kids (adults) come up with. I also think the illustrations are awesome! They move the words along nicely and bring a richness to the meaning of the words. Load of mental images start circling in each of our heads, depending on our individual perspectives and lives. I own a few picture books that are ALWAYS within arm's reach--for a pick me up, an inspiration, to share or recommend, and in a few special cases, to use for instruction. THE QUIET BOOK covers all the bases. It is a lovely story to read, share, recommend or give as a gift for a child, but it is also an amazing book for grown-ups, older students, artists, and writers. This book shows the power of suggestion. It demonstrates the miracle of getting every word of a manuscript exactly right. It does what all the very best picture books do--it provokes thought and makes you see the world in a different way. I challenge you to share with book with an adult, a class of high school or college students, or a book club comprised of older women---the conversation will take off. Kudos to Deborah Underwood and the very talented illustrator, Renata Liwska, who brought Ms. Underwood's magic to life. The only reason this book is my #2 gift recommendation this year is because THE CHRISTMAS QUIET BOOK, by the same talented pair, just came out, and it snags the #1 spot. Share it at your Christmas dinner with family young and old--that's what I plan to do.
