Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Snider, Grant (illustrator). Illustrated. Product DescriptionThe monumental bestseller Quiet has been recast in a new edition that empowers introverted kids and teensSusan Cain sparked a worldwide conversation when she published Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Cant Stop Talking. With her inspiring book, she permanently changed the way we see introverts and the way introverts see themselves.The original book focused on the workplace, and Susan realized that a version for and about kids was also badly needed. This book is all about kids' world-school, extracurriculars, family life, and friendship. Youll read about actual kids who have tackled the challenges of not being extroverted and who have made a mark in their own quiet way. Youll hear Susan Cains own story, and youll be able to make use of the tips at the end of each chapter. Theres even a guide at the end of the book for parents and teachers.This insightful, accessible, and empowering book, illustrated with amusing comic-style art, will be eye-opening to extroverts and introverts alike.From School Library JournalGr 6 Up-Cain is well known for her adult book and TED Talk on the contributions that introverts have made to society in a world that seems powered by extroverts. In this edition, she addresses the challenges that young introverts face. Unfortunately for introverts, who make up one-third to half the population, those who often seem to thrive most in school or public situations are the extroverts. Cain believes that introverts, like her, can learn to use their "superpowers" (namely: listening, deep thinking, and focusing on the self) to flourish. The book is divided into chapters based on school, socializing, hobbies, and home, with firsthand accounts of introverted teens and examples of famous figures (e.g., Beyonc, Albert Einstein) who have found success outside of their initial comfort zones. Included are strategies and tips on how introverts can overcome situations that prove difficult for them (preparing notes to enter class discussions, establishing a time limit for social outings, setting up a personal sanctuary). Humorous drawings throughout the text add a whimsical and light touch perfect for the intended audience. This highly accessible volume gives a voice to a group of people who are often made to feel unappreciated. There is no index, but the work does include notes, an afterword for teachers, and a guide for parents.
