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.

Her hope is that the Quiet Adventures of Iggy the Introverted Inkapus" book series, 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.
