Book excerpt: Quiet Kid is a creative feel-good book written for introverted children; an ode to the kids who enjoy, seek out and actually need quiet times. This book celebrates and clearly validates the unique and often misunderstood characteristics of these inner, thoughtful children. It does not suggest any sort of corrective action plan because none is needed. Children who are introverts are simply born with this temperament.

The adults in their lives need to know this, too. Quiet Kid is a gentle way to get the conversation started.
