Mary was a quiet girl.
She thought quiet thoughts, stepped quiet steps, and whispered quiet words.
Mary knows how to savor the small things.
Wonder is everywhere: in the rustle of leaves, in the sigh of a sleeping dog, in the wingbeats of the birds who visit her upcycled feeders.
But Mary's family couldn't be more different.
Amidst the sound of blow-dryers, blenders, lawnmowers, and her brother's trombone, Mary goes almost unnoticed.
It isn't until her family starts searching the neighborhood for her that they begin to see the world through her eyes.
A Quiet Girl invites young readers (and the noisy adults in their lives) to appreciate the thousand little pleasures that surround us--if only we would notice them.
