Quiet Wyatt 

“For wonderful Wyatt, my grandson, who said it was okay to use his name” – B.M. Bill Maynard and Frank Remkiewicz team together to write a fun story titled, //Quiet Wyatt//,  who tell a story about a little boy who is told to be quiet until he becomes silent, and that is when he is needed most. Their book is for children anywhere from Pre-Kindergarten to second grade or ages 3-6. In 2000, //Quiet Wyatt//  was nominated for the Building Block Picture Book Award. Publishers Weekly wrote, **“**Maynard and Remkiewicz make an appeal for indulgence on Wyatt’s behalf, with the subtext that children should be seen and not heard until absolutely necessary.” Kirkus Reviews wrote, “Maynard takes on a universal experience of childhood and pushes it in alarming directions.” Another book that Maynard and Remkiewicz teamed together for is // Incredible Ned .// More books by Bill Maynard are //Rock River//  and // Pondfire .//

The purpose of this story is wonderful. It relates to young ones like no other book I’ve read. Younger kids are always being told to be quiet or to settle down but when Wyatt decides to listen the worst of everything comes out and when he is needed most, he steps up. The illustrations are fun to look at and are very colorful. I think young children can relate to this book a lot and will enjoy reading it over and over.
