Autor Deborah Sosin Ilustrat de Sara Woolley
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mai 2011 – vârsta de la 3 până la 8 ani
Charlotte likes quiet. But wherever Charlotte goes, she is surrounded by noise, noise, noise — her yipping dog, Otto; the squeaky, creaky swings; the warbling, wailing sirens. Even in the library, children yammer and yell. Where can Charlotte find a quiet place? Sara Woolley’s magnificent watercolors bring Charlotte’s city to life when Otto leads her on a wild chase through the park. There, Charlotte discovers a quiet place where she never would have imagined!

Sometimes children need a break from our noisy, overstimulating world. Charlotte and the Quiet Place shows how a child learns and practices mindful breathing on her own and experiences the beauty of silence. All children can relate to the unfolding adventure and message of self-discovery and empowerment. Parents, teachers, and caretakers of highly active or sensitive children will find this story especially useful.

Extras

Charlotte and the Quiet Place

Charlotte’s house is noisy.
In the hallway, the floorboards groan.
In the living room, the TV bellows and blares.
In the kitchen, her dog, Otto, yips, yaps, and yowls.
Even in her bedroom, which is supposed to be a quiet place, the old steam radiator
hisses, whistles, and whines.

Where can Charlotte find a quiet place?

Charlotte’s school is noisy.
In the classroom, the bell clangs.
In the lunchroom, the trays clatter and crash.
On the playground, the swings creak, squeak, and rattle.
Even in the library, which is supposed to be a quiet place, the children giggle, yammer, and yell.

Where can Charlotte find a quiet place?

Charlotte’s neighborhood is very, very noisy.
On the sidewalk, the jackhammers blast.
On the street, the sirens warble and wail.
Underground, the subway screeches, rumbles, and roars.
Even in the park, which is supposed to be a quiet place, the leaf blower buzzes, blusters,
and hums.

“Nooo!” cries Charlotte. “I have to find a quiet place!”
