Quiet Way Home
Shh. Listen carefully, can you hear them?āNot the sound of rumbling trucks or the clanging cans. But the sounds that small things make. The whirring of a grasshopper, the thrumming of honeybees, the squeaking of a rusty bike.
Bonny Becker takes the quiet way home and in language that is rich and evocative, she turns the walk into an adventure.
Benrei Huangās bright and gentle depiction of a special route home and a special relationship makes this a warm and reassuring read for nap time, for bedtime, and for any time when quiet, gentle sounds need to be heard.
"When Grandfather fetches a small girl from school, they take the quiet way home. They hear not the loud clanging and rumbling noises, but the ādart-and-fleeā of the honeybee; not the hurry-up honks of the busy road, but āthe rustle scuffle scrape-a-caper / Tumbling paperā in the alley; not the roar of the lawn mower, but the chip chop of the garden hoe. Huangās bright double-page spreads in acrylic paint and colored pencil show that thereās excitement and connection in uncrowded places where you can get close up to one special thing." āALA Booklist
