Charlotte and the Quiet Place 

Charlotte likes quiet. But wherever Charlotte goes, she is surrounded by noise, noise, noiseher 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 Woolleys magnificent watercolors bring Charlottes 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 will relate to the unfolding adventure and message of self-discovery and empowerment. Parents, teachers, and caretakers of highly active or sensitive children will find the story especially useful.
