# Quiet - Hardcover

by **Tomie dePaola** (Author), **Tomie dePaola** (Illustrator)

**In this gorgeous and contemplative _New York Times_ bestselling picture book, legendary author-illustrator Tomie dePaola reminds us that mindfulness--being quiet, still, and present with one another--is a very special thing.**

Everything is in such a hurry, busy as busy can be.  
The birds are flying so fast, the dragonfly is zooming over the water--even the trees are waving their leaves.

So what if we sit here, you next to me...and we can just _be_?
