Quiet Kid is a creative feel-good book written for introverted children; an ode to the kids who enjoy, seek out and actually need quiet times. This book celebrates and clearly validates the unique and often misunderstood characteristics of these inner, thoughtful children. It does not suggest any sort of corrective action plan because none is needed. Children who are introverts are simply born with this temperament. What they need to thrive is support and understanding in a fast paced, overloaded world. Introverted kids need to know that they’re alright just the way that they are. The adults in their lives need to know this, too. Quiet Kid is a gentle way to get the conversation started.

Tiy is different than the other Egyptian girls--she has pale hair and more freckles than she wants to count. With her mother consumed by the need to keep up appearances, and her father too busy to care, Tiy just wants to disappear into the background. But her hope for a quiet life is shattered when she rescues Prince Amenhotep from a sandstorm and is rewarded with an invitation to attend the royal school in Egypt’s capital—-a place where girls like her will never fit in. Amenhotep welcomes her into his close circle of friends and their friendship strengthens into a bond neither is willing to lose. But when Amenhotep becomes Pharaoh and is pressured by the priests to marry, the strength of their friendship is threatened. Will Tiy find enough courage to accept Amenhotep’s hand when he wants her to become the next Queen of Egypt, especially when her feelings run no deeper than friendship? And how can she protect him from the Nubian rebels who are determined to take control of Egypt?
