Being Quiet Is My Superpower

  • Learn to see introversion and shyness as strengths 
  • Increase self-awareness and self-esteem

An empowering non-fiction book for quiet children aged 5+. When Mo goes to the toilet, he blocks it for ages. Lexi goes to swimming lessons and doesn’t dare go  into the water until her fourth lesson. Fine spends her grandmother’s birthday party under the table. Mo, Lexi and Fine are quiet children. This affirmative non-fiction book is for them – introverted and shy children. Through short stories and lots of colourful pictures, it shows that there are many people who are quiet and calm, who draw strength from themselves and not from interacting with others, who react with restraint to new situations. In addition to short stories, there are lots of tips for
children and parents on how to deal with different situations. A strength-building book that gives children the most important message: being quiet is your magic power!
