Danny is a quiet child preferring to sit quietly, sometimes talking to a friend and sometimes just sitting. When he is questioned by another student why he is always so quiet he starts to feel like this is a negative thing.
He talks this over with his mother and together they discuss his day and come to the conclusion that while being quiet he often notices other things around him and can offer help to his classmates. Danny decides that quiet is okay. While it's also okay to be talkative you can still have fun while being quiet.
Is It OK to Be Quiet? is the first in a planned series for introverted children - quiet children.
Brisciana conveys to his readers that a quiet nature can help you be more aware and supportive of other people around you.
Is It OK to Be Quiet? provides a good opportunity to talk about different personalities and that being your true self is always okay.
James Cook James sweet, heartwarming cartoon style illustrations are presented in soft pastel colours that perfectly reflect the theme of the story.
Is It OK to Be Quiet? would be a valuable teacher resource for Kindy to Year 2.
My rating 5 / 5 😊😊😊😊😊
