‘When I read, I know there is a world beneath my branches.’
David Ouimet’s I Go Quiet is beautiful, special book celebrating the wonder of books and the imagination. It’s an ideal gift for those you know who prefer to be found in a quiet corner rather than in the thick of the Christmas crowds. We hope this taster of some of the stunning illustrations will get you rushing to the bookshops!
