"Mary, a young girl with a meditative disposition, finds her quiet curiosity at odds with her boisterous family. Eventually, Mary is so still that she seems to fade from her family's sight. When calling loudly for her gets no result, the family tries quiet waiting instead and find both Mary and the simple beauty in slowing down to listen to the world."-- - Baker & Taylor

From critically acclaimed author-illustrator Peter Carnavas comes a gentle breeze of a picture book with themes of mindfulness, observation, and being present in the natural world.
Mary was a quiet girl. She thought quiet thoughts, stepped quiet steps, and whispered quiet words. Mary knows how to savor the small things. Wonder is everywhere: in the rustle of leaves, in the sigh of a sleeping dog, in the wingbeats of the birds who visit her upcycled feeders. But Maryâs family couldnât be more different. Amidst the sound of blow-dryers, blenders, lawnmowers, and her brotherâs trombone, Mary goes almost unnoticed. It isnât until her family starts searching the neighborhood for her that they begin to see the world through her eyes.
A Quiet Girl invites young readers (and the noisy adults in their lives) to appreciate the thousand little pleasures that surround usâif only we would notice them.
