The Silence Slips In
The Silence Slips In | Alison Hughes
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
When the party's over and the baby finally falls asleep, when the dog is all barked out and the screens are dark, the Silence pads in on soft, furry feet. A warm, comforting presence, the Silence curls up in a sun-beam like a cuddly cat and helps you read, think and be still. The Silence is friends with the Dark. Together they soothe the jagged edges left when the Noise has rolled on and gently launch the boats of your dreams into the night. When the day becomes overwhelming or other feelings become too big, the Silence slips in. With soft illustrations and soothing text, this is a quiet story about learning to find calm in the busy world around you.

#MagicalMay Day 19: There are multiple #doors where silence can slip in. Here, the idea of silence is reified – or personified. It takes the form of a shy, soft, shaggy, still, comforting giant. I like how even amidst the crazy noise around, one can take deep breaths to allow Silence to pad in ever-so-softly. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-lRU

Alison Hughes writes a peaceful story about finding our silence and peace amongst the chaos of our day to day lives. This is a great read aloud for any child of any age. Would pair nicely with the teaching of calming techniques and strategies.
