There are many kinds of quiet--from first one awake quiet to top of the roller coaster quiet. Quiet can be peaceful, ominous, or exhilarating. Renata Liwska's adorable animals perfectly capture the variety of quiets.

The idea for this book came to Deborah when she was waiting for a classical guitar concert to start. She noticed the expectant silence right before the guitarist started playing, and that made her think of other quiets. And yes, "before the concert starts quiet" made it into the book!

About the author:

Deborah grew up in Walla Walla, Washington. When she was little, she wanted to be an astronomer. Then she wanted to be a singer. Then she wanted to be a writer. Today her jobs are writing and singing. Two out of three's not bad! When she's not writing, you might find her singing in a chamber choir, walking around in Golden Gate Park, or baking vegan cookies.
