Sinopsis

A unique book to inspire children aged 7+ to embrace their shyness using the true stories of 40 extraordinary individuals from Ghandi to Zendaya, in hardback with over 80 stunning illustrations.

Why is it, when we see people achieving incredible things, that they all seem so outgoing? Where are all the softly spoken leaders, artists, innovators and champions?

When you’re shy, it’s tempting to hide away in the background of your life. But, when we keep ourselves small, we miss out. And so does everyone else — quiet people have so much to offer the world! In this book you will find 40 stories of shy and mighty magnificence to show you that softly spoken people are trailblazers too. Sometimes we are just a bit more quiet about it!

Quiet Riot shares the triumphs and successes of shy people from all over the world and all kinds of backgrounds, including athletes, writers, explorers, inventors, artists, singers and activists. The book is divided into 10 key themes, including:

  • Dream Massive: Lionel Messi and Anthony Horowitz
  • Be Kind to Yourself: Zendaya and Wolfgang Puck
  • Find Your People: Alan Turing and Misty Copeland
  • Be True to You: Beyonce and David Bowie
  • Take a Stand: Marcus Rashford and Greta Thunberg

Each section ends with a series of useful coaching questions to help you absorb the book's key messages, giving you the confidence to speak up, stand up for your beliefs and follow your dreams. Because your voice matters, and the world needs to hear what you have to say.
