Living in Silence: Honoring the Earth

In the second book of the series, the main characters---the Brazilian Indian boy Zito and his grandfather, Chief of the Dadu tribe---engage in a lively discussion about the importance of living in quietude and peace. Most of the natural wonders around us are often neglected through our busy and noisy life-styles, and it is about time that we quiet down to appreciate the simple things in life. By doing so, we learn how to honor the Earth, and ultimately to honor ourselves. All the books in this series, including this one, are written in a melodic and poetic style, with words carefully chosen for children” of all ages.
