When I Make Silence by Jennifer Howard


My book arrived today! Here's a first look at the cover and some pages inside. The book can be purchased through Parent Child Press or through me. If you would like a signed copy, order through me by sending me an email to Montessorimama3sons@yahoo.com
I'll sign a copy and send it to you. They sell for just $6.00! If you have a special request, dedication etc. just let me know.

I wrote this book years ago to assist my 3-6 class with the Silence game. I found that providing examples of ways to make silence, especially for young children, assisted them with centering themselves and finding peace.

Alicia Jewell illustrated it beautifully! You may be familiar with her work she wrote and illustrated The Peace Rose.

  5. You can cross one of those things off your list that you posted months ago - to be a published writer - done. I am sure this will be the first of many publishing moments. Congrads! I will order a couple myself. I will send you an email later.

  6. I have just started my own Montessori education and have a sort of high-strung 2.5 year old. I'd been wondering how best to introduce calming behaviors that he can use, and now I know! I can't wait to get your book. :)

  12. Hi Jennifer,
    I'm Douaa, from Egypt.
    I read about your beautiful booklet, and I love it.
    Can I purchase a PDF version of it ? to print and laminate for my kid ?
    As shipping to my country will cost me a lot :(
    If that's O.K, I can send you the money via Pay Pal.
    Just tell me.

    I tried to contact you through E-mail, but your email rejected to receive mine.

  16. Is there any way to buy a copy of this without ordering from the publisher as they only ship internationally if the order is over $100 ?

  17. Hello, I am interested too but your email address does not work and I can't afford the $100 minimum order!

  19. Dear Madam, My name is Yvette Roos and I am a Montessori teacher in the Netherlands. I am very fond of your booklet: When I make silence. I now have a question for you: did you also make the booklet in the Dutch language? If not, can I still order it from you in English? What are the costs? Do you also have the pdf version to buy? Many thanks

    Thanks in advance.

    Greetings,
    Yvette Roos

  20. Hi Jennifer,

    I would love to order a copy of your book, "When I Make Silence" for my Montessori Preschool. The email that you have listed on your blog is registering as "Unable to be found" so I am not able to send you a request that way. Please let me know how I can get a hold of your book. The publisher doesn't have any more in stock.

    Thank you,

    Cecilia
