I Don't Want To Be Quiet!

A lively little girl learns that sometimes the quietest moments, like those spent in a library, can be the most fun, as she discovers the joys of imagination without making a sound.

Summary:  One little girl just doesn't want to be quiet, until she learns how much fun she can have without making a sound--especially in the library.

I don't want to be quiet,
I'd rather be LOUD!
I want to be HEARD and
stand out from the crowd!

Sometimes it's hard to be quiet. There are drums to drum and hums to hum, drinks to slurp and burps to burp--so many loud and wonderful noises to make! So when this spunky little girl goes to the library, it's extra difficult to behave--until the entire room tells her to SHHHHHH. It's only then, as she discovers the wonders that live inside books, that she sees how much fun she can have in her own imagination--all without making a peep.

In this bright and playful rhyming picture book filled with vibrant, cheerful illustrations, readers learn the joy that is possible when we really stop and listen.

Age recommendation: 3+

Why we love it:  What parent doesn’t want their child to learn to be a little quieter? Just kidding… maybe? This has become a favorite for us, and I like knowing that my son is learning a valuable lesson about emotional regulation while we are building early literacy skills like vocabulary and comprehension.
