Bookroo's summary

When the world is too loud, Silence arrives on soft, furry feet. It curls up like a cat, offering comfort and stillness. As the Noise fades, Silence and its friend, the Dark, soothe the jagged edges of the day, guiding dreams into the night. In this gentle tale, a child learns to embrace the quiet moments that bring peace amidst chaos. Will Silence help you find calm when life feels overwhelming?

From the publisher

When the party’s over and the baby finally falls asleep, when the dog is all barked out and the screens are dark, the Silence pads in on soft, furry feet. A warm, comforting presence, the Silence curls up in a sunbeam like a cuddly cat and helps you read, think and be still. The Silence is friends with the Dark. Together they soothe the jagged edges left when the Noise has rolled on and gently launch the boats of your dreams into the night. When the day becomes overwhelming or other feelings become too big, the Silence slips in.
