But she also experiences some wonderful new things--her first snow storm and a teacher who does not speak Spanish but has a big smile. Even better, Papa and her brother Chavo help her turn a big box into her own quiet place, where she keeps her books and toys and writes letters to Aunt Lupita. As she decorates and adds more and more on to her quiet place, it is here that Isabel feels the most at home in her new country while she learns to adjust to the changes in her life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSet in the 1950s and told through Isabel's letters to her aunt, Sarah Stewart and Caldecott Medalist David Small have created a charming and unforgettable young heroine who will win the hearts of readers in this story of immigration and assimilation. \u003ci\u003eThe Quiet Place \u003c\/i\u003eis a\u003ci\u003e Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e Best Children's Book of 2012\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHusband and wife duo \u003cb\u003eSarah Stewart\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eDavid Small\u003c\/b\u003e have worked together on several picture books, most recently \u003ci\u003eThe Friend\u003c\/i\u003e.
