When the bustle and noise of daytime are too much, a girl looks forward to nighttime’s calm and hush. The daytime world is much too loud for Nora. At home, the vacuum vrooms, the television blares and her twin sisters make a racket. Life outside the house is no better, with children splashing around the pool, carts squeaking at the supermarket and cars honking in the street. But when nighttime arrives, Nora can escape to her room, where she finally gets to hear the gentle brushing of branches against her windowsill and the soothing sounds of her family from the other side of the house. For Nora, nighttime is perfectly delightful. This comforting picture book provides a sensitive portrayal of a child who finds her own quiet and calm within the noise and chaos of her life.
