Lisa Sirkis Thompson is a graphic designer, a former decorative painter, a writer and a co-owner of a small children's product business called Oh Bessie. Lucy's Quiet Day, the second in the Lucy Book Series, finds Lucy without planned activities, and bored. But her vivid imagination takes hold when she wanders into her backyard, and finds that Nature can be anything but quiet. Lucy's Quiet Day encourages kids not only to take an interest in the natural world around them, but to find satisfaction and reward in alone time. And that's important for so many kids today who experience a busy, sometimes crowded schedule of activity.
