Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Christmas Quiet Book
Deborah Underwood · 2012
78/100
👍 Worth It
Deborah Underwood and Renata Liwska have done something genuinely useful here — made a Christmas book that actually slows things down. The soft wintry illustrations and spare, hushed text are perfectly calibrated for calming an excited preschooler before bed during the holidays. No story arc to speak of, but that is entirely beside the point.
