| Publisher Description: Sometimes, you have to leave your comfort zone. Iggy's long time home, Crystal Cove, becomes polluted. So, Iggy and a few of his friends set out to find a clean place to live. This proves to be more challenging than they expected. Iggy and his friends must work together to solve problems, deal with disappointment, and stay strong when things get tough. 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, whilealso helping introverted and extroverted children understand the differences between the two personality types. |
Contributor Bio(s): Maxwell, Kristen: - 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.Sabino, Kevin: - As a young child, author Kristen Maxwell struggled with her own introverted identity.
