While the story itself is not too different from other books written about young, islander adults, it stands out due to the beautiful language.

She has been published so widely and to such acclaim that she received a Commemoration Medal in 1990, the OBE in 1992 for her services to children’s literature, the Margaret Mahy Award Lecture in 1993 and an honorary doctorate from Massey University in 1993. In 2004, she received the A W Reed Award for Contribution to New Zealand Literature at the Montana New Zealand Book Awards. She has written 41 picture books, which include The Duck in the Gun (1969), The Terrible Taniwha of Timberditch (1982), Salmagundi (1985), and The Cheese Trap (1995). The Duck in the Gun and Salmagundi are explicitly anti-war books. She has been actively involved in teaching early reading skills and helping those with reading difficulties, in which capacity she has written approximately 500 basal readers (termed reading books in her native New Zealand).[citation needed] Cowley was awarded a 1990 Commemoration Medal for services to New Zealand, and in 1992 she was awarded an OBE for services to children's literature.[4][5] The following year she was granted an honorary doctorate (D.Litt) from Massey University, and was awarded the New Zealand Suffrage Centennial Medal.[1][4] In the 2005 Queen's Birthday Honours List, Cowley was appointed a Distinguished Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (DCNZM) for services to children's literature.[6] In 2002, she was awarded the Roberta Long Medal, presented by the University of Alabama at Birmingham for culturally diverse children's literature.[1][4][11] In 2004, she was awarded the A. W. Reed Award for Contribution to New Zealand Literature, and in 2010, she won the Prime Minister's Award for Literary Achievement in the Fiction category.[4] Cowley has won the overall Book of the Year award three times at the various incarnations of the New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards: first for The Silent One in 1982; then for Hunter in 2006; and finally for Snake and Lizard in 2008.[4][12] The latter two books were entered into the Junior Fiction category, in which she also won the category award for her books Ticket to the Sky Dance in 1998, Starbright and the Dream Eater in 1999, and Shadrach Girl in 2001.[4] Cowley also won the Children's Choice award in this category for Friends: Snake and Lizard in 2010.[4] She won the now defunct Fiction category in 1992 for Bow Down Shadrach, and the Picture Book category in 2002 for Brodie.[4] An additional five of her books have been short-listed as finalists in the Picture Book category at the awards, and an additional three in the Junior Fiction category.[4] Cowley's book The Video Shop Sparrow was included in the 2000 White Ravens List, administered by the International Youth Library, and five of her books have been finalists for the Esther Glen Award from 1995 to 2010.[4] She won Best Script Television Drama at the 1994 TV Guide Television Awards for Mother Tongue, a 52 minute film shot in 1992, and set in 1953, about an 18 year old couple who fall in love — though the woman (played by Sarah Smuts-Kennedy) is Catholic, and the man (played by Craig Parker) is Jewish.[1][13][14][15] Cowley has been married three times.[1] First at 20 years old to dairy farmer Ted Cowley, with whom she had four children: Sharon, Edward, Judith and James.[1] After their marriage ended in 1967, Cowley married Malcolm Mason, a Wellington writer and accountant who died in 1985.[1] In 1989, Cowley married her current husband, Terry Coles.[1] She lived with him, and an assortment of animals, for many years in the Marlborough Sounds, but in 2004 they moved to a wharf apartment in Wellington so Coles could be nearer medical services.[1] As Coles' health deteriorated, Wellington's stairs and traffic became too much for him, and the couple moved again to Featherston, where Cowley now lives.[1] She has 13 grandchildren and is still writing full-time.[1] The Silent One is Jonasi, sent from the sea as a baby to grow up in an isolated Pacific village. Separated from the villagers by his silence and their prejudices, Jonasi finds solace in his underwater world where he develops a special relationship with a huge white turtle. However, the superstitious villagers see both Jonasi and the turtle as evil spirits. A series of natural disasters and a struggle for leadership within the village sweep Jonasi toward his strange destiny. It's Christmas, and that means Mrs. Wishy-Washy wants her animals as clean as shiny new tacks. In fact, if they don't scrub themselves from foot to head before she returns from shopping, they won't get their presents! But it's sooo cold in the big red barn. Duck knows a better bath-one with warm water and pink bubbles. But if Mrs. Wishy-Washy finds out, they can kiss their Christmas presents good-bye!...
