Rumble Grumble...Hush

(3) PS Illustrated by Simone Shin. A young child likes playing loudly but learns to enjoy quieter activities, too. Poetic text oscillates between the capitalized onomatopoeia of raucous play-imaginings and soothing, rhythmic rhymes of quiet-time ("A book's pages make a breeze, / a quiet shuffle across quiet knees"). In a palette of hushed blues, browns, and reds, the expressive acrylic and digital-media pictures depict "the quiet" coming and going as a weaving dust-like trail.
