Being an Introvert

Have you ever heard someone say...

"Speak up!"

"Cat got your tongue?"

"Why are you so quiet?"

Almost every introvert on the planet has heard these words. We have too.

Globe illustration with speech bubbles around the world confirming they've been asked why they are quiet

Sound like you or someone you know, too?

You might be one of us.

So we decided to make a kid's book about our experiences as introverts in a loud world.
