Why Are You So Quiet? by Jaclyn Desforges Pdf

Into a world where it often seems nobody is listening comes a poignant story that celebrates the power of silence. “Why are you so quiet?” Her teacher implores it, her classmates shout it, even her mom wonders it. Everyone, it seems, is concerned for Myra Louise. So, in search of an answer to the tiresome question nobody will stop asking, she invents a listening machine. If the raindrops, or the crickets, or the dryers at the laundromat can tell her why they’re so quiet, maybe Myra Louise can finally make everybody understand. But the more she listens, the less interested she becomes in finding any answer at all. Because Myra Louise comes to realize that all she really needs is someone else to listen alongside her. With gorgeous illustrations from Risa Hugo, Jaclyn Desforges’s first picture book champions introversion and the value of being a listener, a thinker, and an observer in our increasingly loud world.

Be Quiet and Listen by Sheldon Larmore Pdf

What do you and your wife know about your son's condition?' Dr. Davis asked. 'Very little,' I said. 'However, we've been told not to worry too much about it.' Dr. Davis looked at me a second or two before commenting further. This was a definite clue to brace myself for what would follow. 'Your son was born with Spina Bifida.' There was a noticeable concern in his voice. 'What is Spina Bifida?' I asked. This is a real life story about a young man, David, born with Spina Bifida with multiple congenial birth defects. After David's birth, his parents were strongly urged to place him in an institution since his future, according to medical history of these types of births prior to 1970, would be dim. His parents were warned he most likely would be severely retarded and non-functional. They were told by a prominent pediatrician to expect nothing and appreciate anything. Through infancy until the day of his death, David's faith and love for God grew stronger each year. His drive and his belief in God's healing grace brought him much comfort and a desire to help and serve others. This young man touched a whole community, a whole region. David's father, Sheldon Larmore, never thought of writing a book. However, after his son's death many people in the community encouraged him to put the story of David's life in writing. It wasn't until he received several gentle nudges from God to do so that he realized the need to complete this book. David's life has served as an inspiration for his family and friends—it will do the same for you. You will find encouragement, strength, and renewed faith in Be Quiet and Listen.

Quiet Is a Superpower by Jill Chang Pdf

“A must-have book for today's quiet warriors.” —Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet and Quiet Power and cofounder of Quiet Revolution How does a self-described "extreme introvert" thrive in a world where extroverts are rewarded and social institutions are set up in their favor? Using her extraordinary personal story as a "case study of one," author Jill Chang shows that introverts hold tremendous untapped potential for success. Chang describes how she succeeded internationally in fields that are filled with extroverts, including as an agent for Major League Baseball players, a manager of a team across more than twenty countries, and a leading figure in international philanthropy. Instead of changing herself to fit an extroverted mold, she learned to embrace her introversion, turning it from a disadvantage to the reason she was able to accomplish great goals and excel in tasks that her extroverted peers missed. She offers advice on the best jobs for introverts, overcoming the additional difficulties language and cultural barriers can present, thriving at social events and business presentations, leveraging the special leadership traits of introverts, and much more. Part memoir and part career guide, this book gives introverts the tools to understand how they can form relationships, advance in the career path, excel in cross-cultural workplaces, and navigate extroverted settings without compromising comfort or personality.

Quiet Gardens by Susan Bowden-Pickstock Pdf

Quiet Gardens describes a journey that seeks to re-investigate humankind's relationship with nature and, through this, an understanding of what is spiritual. For many, enjoying and/or making a garden is both a connection with the wider environment and a link to that which is beyond ourselves. From some of the unusual and remarkable gardens of the Christian charity, the Quiet Garden Trust, and conversations with some of today's leading garden creators and thinkers, the journey takes us on a path of exploration and discovery, via Buddhist, Ba'hai and Islamic gardens, to the making of an inter-faith garden which won a medal at the Chelsea Flower Show. It shows us that the relationship between meaning, spirituality and horticulture transcends cultural and religious differences and offers hope for the future.

The Quiet Book by Deborah Underwood Pdf

All quiet is not created equal. In this irresistibly charming picture book, many different quiet moments are captured, from the anticipation-heavy “Top of the roller coaster quiet” to the shocked-into-silence “First look at your new hairstyle quiet.” The impossibly sweet bears, rabbits, fish, birds, and iguanas are all rendered in soft pencils and colored digitally, and, as in all of the best picture books, the illustrations propel the story far beyond the words. A sure-to-be-a-classic bedtime favorite.
