Public Manners Storybook — Quiet and Gentle in the Library
When your child runs around even in the library
When your child runs and makes loud noises in quiet places like the library, a restaurant, or the subway, you break into a nervous sweat. Repeating "be quiet" only works for a moment, which is so awkward.
A child not keeping manners isn't a lack of upbringing — it's because they haven't yet felt in their body "why they need to be quiet." Once they understand the reason, children start to be careful on their own.

Read the public manners storybook together with your child and talk about it. We've woven together many stories about 44. Here We're Quiet and Gentle, including a library manners storybook, a subway manners storybook, and an order-and-rules storybook.
Why public manners matter
Public manners start from the sense that "there are other people besides me." A child who knows how their actions affect others grows into someone who can be considerate anywhere.
Library manners also lead to an attitude of treasuring books and learning. The experience of quietly focusing builds a child's self-control and helps them naturally learn the rules of living together.
The story of Hori becoming a Quiet-Quiet Fairy
In "Here We're Quiet and Gentle," Hori gets excited and runs around the library, startling friends. But this time, another child's noise makes Hori lose the line he was reading. "Oh, so this is what being disturbed feels like!"
Hori starts the "Quiet-Quiet Fairy game" with Mom. Tiptoe on the toes, whisper softly, hold the book gently with two hands. On the subway ride home, Hori sits nicely too. Together with Hori, your child realizes that "when I'm quiet, others feel comfortable too."
