A book about different types of "quiet." 
"There are many kinds of quiet:
Quiet can be delicate.
Quiet can be thundering!
Quiet can be sweet,
and cozy,
and can most definitely help you fall asleep."





This book by Deborah Underwood can serve as an anytime book or a bedtime book. 
This is a witty and charming book that explores the different kinds of "quiet" in a refreshing way. One great
example of quiet, "Best friends don't need to talk quiet." Life is so loud. Children should learn about the quiet 
moments and realize that it's not bad to be quiet. The book can be used as a print motivator or vocabulary builder.
