But Christmas is sometimes wrapped in quiet: “Searching for presents quiet,” “Gingerbread quiet,” and “Hoping for a snow day quiet.” Irresistibly cute, soft colored pencil illustrations of bunnies, owls, bears, and more paint a magical holiday picture indeed.
With warmth and humor, this Christmas companion to the award-winningThe Quiet BookandThe Loud Bookcelebrates quiet moments amidst the holiday bustle.
A congenial, understated choice for reading aloud to excited children to help them settle down for a long winter's night.
