I am a person who greatly appreciates the quiet and solitary moments in life, especially in this society of ever-increasing noise, so it was quite refreshing to find The Quiet Book by Deborah Underwood. This book is a lovely journey through many different flavors of quiet ('coloring in the lines' quiet, 'best friends don't need to talk' quiet, 'last one to get picked up from school' quiet) and a reminder for adults about how to appreciate and reflect on many of the simpler, less chaotic times in our lives.
