The Christmas Quiet Book by Renata Liwska, Deborah Underwood
5.0
The duo who created The Quiet Book and The Loud Book have returned with a holiday version. This simple picture book follows the same format as the earlier books, celebrating the small moments of the day that are quiet. Here they are all Christmas themed with quiet moments like “Star on top quiet” and “Luminaria quiet” and “Listening for sleigh bells quiet.”
As always, Liwska’s illustrations add a softness and warmth to the book that entirely suits the theme. Her rabbits, owls and bears are all huggably fuzzy. Their expressions are perfect for each of the moments, from the shock of a broken ornament to the bliss of gliding on ice to the horror of the mistletoe.
A wonderful Christmas read for the entire family, this celebrates all of those moments between the hustle and bustle of the holiday. It will get all of you thinking about your own Christmas quiet times. Appropriate for ages 3-5.
