Description
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.

As soon as this book is on the shelves, I am buying it. This will be a fantastic addition to our school library. As I was reading this, I became calm. The illustrations are great. I like how this book is short, but powerful .
Jane M, Reviewer
The Silence Slips In is a quiet book. Many of the illustrations are soft and warm, and the book feels rather like a hug. This would make an ideal bedtime book to help slowly soothe little ones into the right frame of mind for relaxing into sleep.
I think this would be a great book for any kid, but I especially think some highly sensitive children will benefit from the gentle tips on how to make your own quiet when the world is just too darn noisy!
4.5 stars rounded up for this little gem.
Thanks to NetGalley and Orca Book Publishers for providing me with a DRC of this book.
