Quiet Is Strength

Description

A comforting ode to the gentle potency of quiet, this lyrical picture book will captivate introverts and nature lovers alike.

Quiet is strength. It’s as strong as a monarch in migration. As important as a whisper and a promise. As deep as a listener, still . . . and sincere.

This evocative text combines with warmly glowing images of people enjoying a day at the park, spending peaceful moments together and alone, experiencing the nourishment of quiet. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to be loud to make a positive impact on others, and that when you are still, you’re more able to experience the magnificence of the world around you.
