Just because someone is quiet doesn’t mean they’re shy. When people see Emile’s quiet ways, what they don’t know is that there is so much going on inside — he’s actually a daring captain of a great ship and a valiant knight, amongst so many other things. His imagination and thought life are rich, vibrant and overflowing. He also wisely knows that there is a quiet side to strength, friendship and knowledge that people sometimes overlook. We love this very thoughtful and affirming ode to introverts!
I Am Quiet: A Story for the Introvert in All of Us was written by Andie Powers, illustrated by Betsy Petersen and published by Bala Kids. It’ll be out soon on April 12!
