Quiet! by Kate Alizadeh (2017)
by Anna HK
A young child narrates her evening through sounds. From Dad preparing dinner, to playtime, to bath time, she notices all the small sounds in her environment until bedtime. The story is quiet, domestic and portrays a father as a gentle loving caretaker. This book is full of background text showing the onomatopoeia of everyday life, and there's enough plot to make it work as a read-aloud. Simple, sweet, and perfect for storytime.
Themes/Topics: sounds, senses, dads, bedtime
Sample text from two spreads:
"Sssh! Listen, what's that noise?
It's the TV babbling, as I zoom zoom the car across teh rug and the cat purrs.
And the dog snoring and the laptop whirring and the pitter patter of the rain against the window"
