Quiet Kush

Kush is so quiet. That's what everyone says. Kush is so quiet. He loves to read. He has a big imagination and a kind heart. Kush is so quiet, but inside his head is a world of wonder!Quiet Kush is an ode to introverts who are often labeled as shy or quiet.

Author, illustrator, and educator Natasha B. Padhiar knows that placing such words on a young person can change the way they see themselves. In reality, these children are just as colorful, engaged, and creative as those who are more extroverted.

Padhiar's lovingly written and sweetly illustrated story centers around Kush, a boy who reminds readers that there is strength in his quietness and that introverts have so much to offer to those who are truly listening.
