#Review of Good Friends Are Hard to Shake by Kristen Maxwell, Kevin Sabino, Kristen Marie @OrendaPress @_AwesomeAnnie

 
 
Why would anyone want to ditch their friends?

Iggy is an introverted inkapus and while he loves his new friends, sometimes he just needs a little break--something they don't seem to understand. The more Iggy tries to be alone, the more they chase him. It's all fun and games--until Iggy nearly loses his ink.

The quintessential Iggy book, this fun and sometimes ironic story surfaces some of the main communication differences between introverts and extroverts--showing how easily the two personality types can misunderstand each other.

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, while also helping introverted and extroverted children understand the differences between the two personality types.
