The Quiet Way Home
We wrapped May up with The Quiet Way Home by Bonny Becker, illustrations by Benrei Huang. The story follows a little girl and her father as they walk home from school. Not the way of the rumbling trucks or growling dogs, but the way the whirring grasshoppers and humming honeybees go. We experienced the beauty of the softer, quieter things while we explored our environment, rather than the rough and tumble of our ordinarily loud lives.
