In 'Too Quiet, Too Noisy,' a children's book by Bonnie Ferrante, we follow the story of a young girl named Lily who is trying to find the perfect level of noise in her life. At home, she finds the noise of her family overwhelming, with the television blaring, her brother playing drums, and the baby crying. Seeking peace, she goes to her grandmother's house, only to find it too quiet for her liking.
