EDITORIAL REVIEWS
I absolutely love this book! I especially treasure the author's takeaways at the end of each interview. As an introvert myself, I can identify with so many! I so appreciate how she made the connections between what has been said and how this applies to other introverts. These valuable chapters of exploration help us understand, appreciate and further develop our own unique strengths. Eevi Jones, Founder of Children's Book University, Publishing Strategist
A myth is about to be dispelled! As an extrovert, I was interested to see what I could learn from the introvert's mindset. To say this book changed my negative perspective of introverts being unsocial is an understatement. I resonated with the introverts' characteristics(perseverance, self-reflection, empathy, modesty, open to self-development, in tune with their authentic self...) The lessons learned will not only empower the quiet and reserved but also be a reminder to the extroverts - who can learn a great deal about living an authentic life. My take away: introverts make great leaders because they inspire people with their vision, not indoctrination. A must for any school library to ensure children appreciate there is a place for every personality type. Lesley Jones, Readers' Favorite
