Quiet . . .
like a quilt on a feather bed . . .
and frost on the window . . .
we write our names knowing . . .
the sun will melt them off
But the sun is so quiet . . .
that we don't care
we smile
―from Connie by Nikki Giovanni
The quiet and noisy, wintery and sometimes sunny poems in The Sun Is So Quiet will always make you smile. Nikki Giovanni describes riding rainbows, tiptoeing through strawberry patches, licking chocolaty fingers, snuggling under covers, and many other wonderful childhood moments. Ashley Bryan's warmest, most colorful illustrations make each page look like a bright, beaming smile.
Together, they have created a collection that you can linger over like a peppermint candy cane or enjoy as quickly as a snowflake melts on your nose.

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Nikki Giovanni is the author of Lincoln and Douglass,Spin a Soft Black Song, The Sun Is So Quiet, and the Caldecott Honor Book Rosa. Her autobiography Gemini was a finalist for the National Book Award, and several of her books have received NAACP Image Awards. She was the first recipient of the Rosa L. Parks Woman of Courage Award, and has been awarded the Langston Hughes Medal for poetry.
Ashley Bryan is a beloved children's book artist whose works include What a Morning!; The Christmas Story in Black Spirituals; and Beat the Story-Drum, Pum-Pum.
Scribblings on paper burst into life with the music of the human voice--poetry! Giovanni's whimsical collection of poetry for young children sings under Staunton's slow and lilting reading. She pays careful attention to the details of pacing, intonation and inflection, where so much of the meaning of poetry lies when it's read aloud. Children will relish the opportunity to lie back and create images of frogs courting, quilts airing on the line, snowflakes waltzing and bees flirting. Listeners will easily memorize the poems heard here. Poetry-loving families will enjoy this recording as much as teachers. T.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
