Amazon Best Books of the Month, April 2010: Give Goodnight Moon and Goodnight Gorilla the night off and pick up this new bedtime classic. This pitch-perfect picture book by Deborah Underwood and illustrator Renata Liwska will quell the pre-bedtime crazies. With the softest of opening salvos--"There are many kinds of quiet"--the story reflects all the different peaceful moments during the day, like "Coloring in the lines quiet," "Hide and seek quiet," and of course "Bedtime kiss quiet." The repetitive pattern of the text paired with softly colored illustrations of adorable stuffed animals is better than a lullaby. --Lauren Nemroff Product Description There are many kinds of quiet: Quiet can be delicate.Quiet can be thundering!Quiet can be sweet,and cozy,and can most definitely help you fall asleep. With kid-centric descriptions and irresistible artwork, this gentle picture book explores all the different quiets that can fill a child's days from morning to night. Amazon Exclusive: Sketches from Renata Liwska, Illustrator of The Quiet Book (Click on images to enlarge) Drawing an iguana. It can be tough making the characters look the same throughout the book. I like to do finished drawings at a coffee shop and color them later on my computer. The bunny must have turned over in between the sketch and the finished drawing. Thinking about bubble baths. A small sketchbook for a small drawing. The owl gets emotional in the final drawing. Trying to figure out how to say quiet. Some of these guys got left out of the book.
