Picture Book: The Quiet Book
Author: Deborah
Underwood
Illustrator: Renata
Liwska
Summary: This
is a charming book in which hilarious illustrations of cute animals remind us of the many moments in which we are quiet. This picture book explores unique kinds
of quiet such as a “Coloring in the lines quiet," a “Top of the roller coaster
quiet,” and a “Before the concert begins quiet.”
Hanna’s Comments: This book would be a wonderful addition to a conversation with
children about why we are quiet during times of worship. It also lends itself
well to instruction in various kinds of prayer.
