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

by **Andie Powers** (Author), **Betsy Petersen** (Illustrator)

**Goodreads Best Children's Book of 2022  
Kid's Indie Next List Pick**

Emile is not shy--he is quiet.

Emile may seem timid and shy on the outside, but on the inside he is bustling with imagination. While grownups and even other kids may see Emile as the shy kid who doesn't raise his hand in class, we know that Emile is actually a high-seas adventurer, a daring explorer, and a friend to wild beasts.

This story honors and encourages the beauty of knowing ourselves for exactly who we are. Emile's world shows us that the mind of a quiet child can be as rich, expansive, and bold as that of any other (more extroverted) child.
