Quiet Violet Finds Her Voice - Hardcover

by Gabrielle Nidus (Author), Stephanie Dehennin (Illustrator)

Violet's journey to be heard celebrates the power of bold, quiet people.

Violet Blandin makes it a habit to blend in. At school, no one notices her, but in the kitchen, she can't be missed. When a hands-on lesson about measurement goes haywire, Violet finds she is the only one who can save celebrated Chef Delaclaire from an awful encounter with a very salty cookie.

Quiet Violet Finds Her Voice celebrates introverted kids and affirms that being quiet doesn't mean they have nothing to say. Violet's journey to be heard invites readers to see that quiet children's minds are as rich and bold as extroverted children's, and empowers introverted kids to find their voice and discover their passion.

A section for adults shares discussion questions and activities to use with children, and additional digital content includes a recipe for Violet's Confident Cookie.
