The holidays are filled with joyful noise. But Christmas is sometimes wrapped in quiet: “Searching for presents quiet,” “Getting caught quiet,” and “Hoping for a snow day quiet.” Irresistibly cute, soft colored pencil illustrations of bunnies, bears, and more paint a magical holiday picture indeed.

I like to travel and work on my books when I can. The cover was drawn in San Francisco.

I like when a drawing lets the viewer imagine what is going to happen next.

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1-Fans of The Quiet Book (2010) and The Loud Book (2011, both Houghton Harcourt) will be enchanted by this holiday companion. The anticipation a child feels is brought to life as the familiar animals from the previous books (bears, rabbits, porcupines, moles, owls) search quietly for presents, make snow angels, drink cocoa, turn on the lights of a Christmas tree, make a gingerbread house, and write a note to Santa. Liwska's digitally colored pencil illustrations, in a muted palette of soft and soothing earth tones, pair poetically with the simple text. This is an ideal title for use during a winter holiday storytime or for one-on-one cuddling at bedtime.-Diane Olivo-Posner, Los Angeles Public Libraryα(c) Copyright 2011.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Deborah Underwood grew up in Walla Walla, Washington. When she was little, she wanted to be an astronomer. Then she wanted to be a singer. Then she wanted to be a writer. Today her jobs are writing and singing. Two out of three's not bad! (Okay, she also wanted to work in a piano factory and paste the labels on new pianos, but let's just ignore that one.)

    Her dad was a math professor, and her mom taught English. Her sister got all the math brains, but some of her mom's word sense rubbed off on her, thank goodness. After college, she moved to San Francisco and became a street musician. Then she worked in an office typing memos for accountants. When the accountants weren't looking, she wrote screenplays. She found that if she glowered at the computer screen and yelled, "Criminy!" once in a while, everyone thought she was typing a very demanding memo and left her alone.

    In 2001, Deborah decided to start writing stories for kids. She also began writing children's nonfiction. When a publisher asks her to write a nonfiction book, she usually doesn't know much about the topic. That means she has to learn fast. Now she knows about lots of cool things, like smallpox and orangutans and Easter Island and whether or not it's okay to slurp your noodles in Japan (it is).

    When she’s not writing, you might find her singing in a chamber choir, playing a ukulele (very badly), walking around in Golden Gate Park, baking vegan cookies, or petting any dogs, cats, pigs, or turkeys that happen to be nearby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! Buy this book (and the rest in the series)!
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2017

This book (and the other in the series) are downright adorable. I actually laughed out loud at a couple of the pages, but there are also little bits that are sweet and others that are nostalgic. Little ones love the pictures, which are amazing works of art in their own right, and the book is just long enough for a bedtime story but not too long (if you know what I mean). We own the entire set, and our little one goes and gets them for story time more often than any other books. Awesome!

Such an adorable book. I bought it to read to my son's Kindergarten class and they were really excited about it! I loved the first Quiet Book, but this one being specific to Christmas is so great. Love having a new holiday book to add to our collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for Pre-school or young readers
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2014

Bought this book for my 3 year old neice. We read it to her and she enjoyed it very much. Hard back binding and sturdy paper pages are good for older pre-schoolers and school age children. She liked that it was a real book and not a baby book. The illustrations are gorgeous with lots of details for her to find and talk about. The story is predictable and repetitious, again well suited for pre-school and early readers.

This will be a classic in everyone's library. I can hardly wait to share it with all the children in my life. It appeals to kids, but it is clever and has some sophistication that appeals to young and old alike. My household ranges from 11 to 53 and it brought a smile every reader! So good to see quality children's books!

I initially bought The quiet book for our son and he loved it! I also loved the beautiful illustrations and the way this book manages to introduce to children the idea of stillness. So, when I saw that they have a Christmas edition was more than glad to purchase it for him. He likes to brouse through it on his own, though a little grown up for it these days (5). Very greatful to the author and illustrator for this gem!

You know how you can smell the snow in the air when it's just about to fall? That is one of the things this book does for small children - it helps them to appreciate the little quiet details of Christmas through word association and beautiful illustrations. In the busy noise of Christmas toys and traffic, this book is a quiet, slow, thoughtful reminder of the joys awaiting every moment of tradition and imagination.
