Quiet - Hardcover
by Tomie dePaola (Author), Tomie dePaola (Illustrator)
In this gorgeous and contemplative New York Times 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?
