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.
"In a world where the protagonist's quiet can feel like something that sets them apart, Karima finds a place to engage in both listening and expression." —Publishers Weekly
"A poignant reminder that quiet kids often have richly resonant inner lives." —Kirkus Reviews
"This lovely, quiet offering speaks volumes about respecting and valuing individuality." —Booklist

She's the author of the graphic novel Pashmina and the bilingual board book Shubh Raatri Dost/Good Night Friend, as well as the illustrator of the picture book I Will Be Fierce.
