It is very hard these days to find a quiet place to read a book. TV screens blare the news in airport waiting rooms. Trains got so noisy with people talking on their cell phones that special "silent cars" had to be designated for those who want a little peace and quiet. Public parks have become concert venues.

In this whimsical children's picture book written by Koen Van Bisen, Roger is at home reading a book. But his concentration is shattered by his neighbor Emily whose hobbies include playing a game, singing, pounding on a drum, and slugging a punching bag. What can Roger do but knock on her door and ask her to be quiet. He finally comes up with a solution that is both creative and kind.

All book readers – young and old alike – will appreciate this tale and its universal messages about the lack of silence, noise, and handling conflict with spiritual insight.
