by Anne Herbauts (Author)
A picturebook influence by James Ensor! This books is not only visually stunning, but it is alive with language. I have seen classrooms of children at PS 29 in Brooklyn in a delighted, poetic frenzy after going through theh idioms at the end. A valuable modern fable about noise, silence and power, told in terms that children understand. Reviews, cont'd: "Unique and colorful illustrations support the story. The message of this book...would be an excellent read aloud to stimulate discussion with older readers."--Assn. Region XI School Librarians, Ft. Worth, TX "A wonderful book to share with your children...."--jellymom.com "Prince Silencio is charmingly written and brilliantly illustrated.... very highly recommended as a purely enchanting and thoroughly entertaining tale of passion, exile, acceptance, and enjoyment."--The Midwest Book Review
