Book of the Week (12/17/2018)

Quiet by Tomie dePaola (Simon & Schuster, 2018).

Holiday season can be bustling and hectic, so it's important for our self care (and sanity) to make space for some peace and quiet! This book illustrates the beauty and importance of mindfulness and "quiet" to our little ones, but also serves as a valuable lesson for grown-ups.
In this gorgeous and contemplative bestselling picture book, legendary author-illustrator Tomie dePaola reminds us that mindfulness—being quiet, still, and present with one another—is a very special thing. Everything is in such a hurry, busy as busy can be. The birds are flying so fast, the dragonfly is zooming over the water—even the trees are waving their leaves. So what if we sit here, you next to me…and we can just be? -- Publisher's blurb
