“Without silence, there’s no music.”
A sweet story celebrating sound and silence. Follow Karima as she goes about her day, taking in the sounds of the world. Though everyone calls her Quiet Karima, that is not all she is. Being quiet allows her to hear the music all around her and to create her own.
A great reminder of the value of quietude and that being quiet doesn’t necessarily mean you aren’t listening or paying attention. I love the perspective that Karima’s quietness allows her to observe everything around her and engage with sound in her own way.
Lovely illustrations with wonderful colors. A very sweet read.
