About this item
Everyone is talking too loud, and moving too fast. But no one seems to hear what's being said. What to do? A well-dressed shrew has all the answers. All you have to do is be still and listen … "One, two, three…Shhh!" This eloquent and brilliantly executed plea for peace offers a simple way for children to feel that their actions, and even their silence can make a difference.
