In a bustling world, a gentle poem invites readers to embrace the quiet strength of introversion. Inspired by a beloved author's wisdom, it celebrates the peace found in solitude and self-reflection.

From the publisher

A sweet poem about being an introvert in a big loud world. Inspired by a quote from the late, great children’s book author Margaret Wise Brown, this poem honors and celebrates the beauty of being your authentic self. Soothing rhymes and soft illustrations convey the peace of being alone with your thoughts. This is a gentle introduction to the concept of being an introvert, as well as an invitation for child and grown-up readers alike to observe and imagine their inner world and the world around them. What can you hear when you stay quiet as mud?
