A Quiet Girl

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Now in paperback, the award-winning picture book about embracing quiet in a noisy world. Mary knows how to savor the small things. Wonder is everywhere: in the rustle of leaves, in the sigh of a sleeping dog, in the wingbeats of the birds who visit her upcycled feeders. But Mary's family couldn't be more different. Amidst the sound of blow-dryers, blenders, lawnmowers, and her brother's trombone, Mary goes almost unnoticed. It isn't until her family starts searching the neighborhood for her that they begin to see the world through her eyes. From critically acclaimed author-illustrator Peter Carnavas comes a gentle breeze of a picture book with themes of mindfulness, observation, and being present in nature. A Quiet Girl invites young readers (and the noisy adults in their lives) to appreciate the thousand little pleasures that surround us--if only we would notice them. A closing spread about mindfulness rounds out this validating story for introverts and observers everywhere. "A quiet young girl in a noisy world, Mary shows her loud, busy family that listening allows for more to be heard."--School Library Journal STARRED REVIEW

From award-winning storyteller Peter Carnavas comes this stellar novel about space, starting over and the best friend you could ever imagine. Ralph sat up. His voice was croaky. &‘ If a shooting star zoomed past right now, what would you wish for?' &‘ To find another friend like you.' Leo and Ralph have been best friends ever since Ralph flew down from one of Jupiter's moons. But now Leo's older, and Mum and Dad think it' s time to say goodbye to Ralph. When the family moves to a small country town, they hope Leo might finally make a real friend. But someone like Ralph is hard to leave behind...Perfect for kids who enjoy gentle, thoughtful stories like The Wild Robot by Peter Brown and the Polly and Buster series by Sally Rippin.
