The Quiet Way Home: 30th Anniversary Edition

By Bonny Becker

Shh. Listen carefully, can you hear them? Not 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 Huang's 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.
