Drawing on the narrative of his own life growing up as painfully shy child, Ben Brooks explores what it is to be ' quiet' - what it means, what it can feel like and how we can embrace it - and debunks some of the myths about what it means to be a shy person. Around 60% of adults identify as ' shy' - just one of the facts that Ben uses to ' normalise' shyness, outlining stories of famously shy people from the past and the present - Charles Darwin, David Bowie, Greta Thunberg, Rosa Parks, Beyonce, Emma Watson - revealing the stories of successful adults who grew up shy but didn' t let it get in the way of their passion and creativity. Shy kids often have great innate skills - listening, creativity, kindness, compassion and problem-solving - so being shy or quiet is not something to ' outgrow' but something to embrace and be proud of. Unique to the children' s market, this book will help shy kids to thrive in their own (quiet) way . . .
Ben Brooks is the author of the bestselling and ground-breaking Stories for Boys Who Dare To Be Different, which was the winner of Children' s Book of the Year at the National Book Awards. The Impossible Boy is his first novel for children. He lives in Bulgaria.
