Produktbeschreibung

Why would anyone want to ditch their friends?

Iggy is an introverted inkapus and while he loves his new friends, sometimes he just needs a little break-something they don't seem to understand. The more Iggy tries to be alone, the more they chase him. It's all fun and games-until Iggy nearly loses his ink.

The quintessential Iggy book, this fun and sometimes ironic story surfaces some of the main communication differences between introverts and extroverts-showing how easily the two personality types can misunderstand each other.

For parents and educators: Recent research shows introverted children are often underrepresented in today's social sphere. This book gives them a character they can relate to, while also helping introverted and extroverted children understand the differences between the two personality types.

Autorenporträt

As a young child, author Kristen Maxwell struggled with her own introverted identity. She felt awkward and geeky and longed to be like the more charismatic kids. This took her on a journey of epic fails and embarrassment as she tried to be someone other than she was. She finally figured out a formula that worked, despite all of her social disadvantages, and the fakery began and lasted for years. Now a highly adapted introvert, she finds fitting in a little easier-but wishes she'd never had to change to be understood. Her hope is that Iggy, the introverted inkapus, will bring a sense of belonging to introverted children who are struggling with their own identity and show extroverted children how to identify and communicate with their quieter counterparts.
