About The Very Quiet Village: A Tale Of Yosemite
Product Description A very quiet village. A very loud boy. Wandering bears and cougars have scared the villagers into always staying so very quiet. But Woni is a very loud boy. Everything about the beautiful valley and grand cliffs makes him want to burst with yells, songs, and laughing! Eventually, through a great danger to his village, he learns the value of his loudness, his name, and his connection to the valley. The Very Quiet Village weaves fascinating facts about Yosemite National Park into a beautiful tale of nature, character, and courage. Included with every book is a page of Yosemite fun facts. The Very Quiet Village is the second book in the Road Trip Tales series. Each book teaches interesting facts about an amazing landmark through a story that captures your heart and imagination. Review This story is very clever and engaging for adults and children. Yosemite has long been one of my favorite places in California and deserves a good story, the photos used in the illustrations are stunning. This tale teaches some very useful facts as well, for instance; do you know what to do if you are hiking and you come across a bear?

Both The Very Quiet Village and The Tree Guardian are truly something special.

I appreciate the information she lists about each place at the end and I can't wait to see where she will take us next! -- Luz As a California native, Yosemite is a great place to visit and learn about. I love that the pictures are real, with the added touch of illustrated characters. The story is a good balance of the beauty of quiet, and the excitement of being loud, and why each has its place.
