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

Emile is not shy―he is quiet.

On the outside, Emile may seem reserved, but inside, his imagination is bursting with adventure. While others see a quiet boy who doesn’t raise his hand in class, Emile sees himself as a high-seas adventurer, a fearless explorer, and a friend to wild beasts.

Through heartfelt storytelling and stunning illustrations, I Am Quiet celebrates the power of introversion, self-acceptance, and the richness of an imaginative mind. This beautifully crafted picture book encourages young readers to embrace who they are and reminds us all that being quiet doesn’t mean being small―it means thinking, dreaming, and seeing the world in a unique way.

Perfect for:

Children ages 4+ who love thoughtful, introspective stories

Parents and educators looking for books on self-acceptance and social-emotional learning

Young introverts who want to see themselves represented in stories
