Quiet Karima
Even if you’re quiet, you can still be loud!
Without silence, there is no music.
Karima is quiet. She’d prefer to listen to the world than to talk. In fact, she listens to the chirps, thuds, and squeaks all around her, and in everything she hears a melody or a beat. As she journeys to her music class, she soaks up all the sounds along the way, until she is ready to perform a song that is uniquely her own.
Celebrated author of Pashmina Nidhi Chanani has created a lyrical celebration of introverts everywhere as Quiet Karima shows there are many ways to use your voice.
