A Cup of Quiet - Nikki Grimes, Cathy Ann Johnson (Illustrated by)
From award-winning author Nikki Grimes comes a beautiful picture book about the special bond between a child and grandparent, perfect for fans of Thank You, Omu and Fry Bread.
When loud sounds of a busy day fill the air, Grandma gets thirsty for a cup of quiet.
“That's silly, Grandma,” her granddaughter says. “Quiet can't fit in a cup, and you can't drink it.”
But together, they venture into the garden to collect the gentler sounds of nature in their cup of quiet. The buzz of a bee, the crackling of a dried leaf, the wind through the trees—until raindrops tap dance on the roof. By “refilling their cups” together, they bring joy and peace to their day.
This imaginative and beautifully poetic story reminds readers that slowing down and sitting in the quiet is an essential part of life.
