I Am Quiet: A Story for the Introvert in All of Us

 

Shirley J.             Juvenile Literature                              Being Quiet, Imaginative & Creative

I Am Quiet: A Story for the Introvert in All of Us by Andie Powers       32 pages

People think Emile is shy, timid even, but, Emile is an introvert.  He is very into his own thoughts and doesn't feel the need for a lot of conversation.   He prefers his own company to that of others.   While Emile doesn't participate vocally in class his imagination knows no bounds.  He is very creative.   This book looks into the mind of a quiet child showing that just because they don't say a lot it doesn't mean they don't think a lot.  It doesn't mean they don't know the answers, they just choose not to tell the answers.   They don't feel the need to be loud and boisterous like the extroverted children in class but that doesn't mean they aren't experiencing every thing and more in their imaginations.  I enjoyed this story very much and recommend it to juveniles as well as adults.  It will give everyone the inside scoop on introverts at all ages.
