11 Books Your Introverted Child Will Just Love that also Prepare
Him or Her for Real LIfe
Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery Comments: Your
introverted girl will identify with Anne's vivid imagination and
insightful nature. Grades 5-7. This was my introverted niece
Alison's favorite book when she was 7.
The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen Comments: A classic
comfort for introverted children who just don't seem to "fit in"
until later. Ages 3-9. Hans Christian Andersen was himself an
introvert and he understands the territory.
The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams Comments: The
quintessential experience of the introverted child is "loving
things alive". This book gives great emotional support to the
introverted child's natural experience of reality.
Evan's Corner by Elizabeth Starr Hill Comments: Evan is the kind
of boy who takes pleasure in his special possessions, who likes
to be lonely from time to time and who enjoys peace and quiet.
This book gives introverted children ages 4-8 a good sense of
self and a positive self image.
The Man Who Lived Alone by Donald Hall Comments: This is a story
about a man who lives alone and enjoys it. Solitude is one of
the greatest pleasures of the introvert. One reviewer,
undoubtedly an extrovert, remarks "Nothing much happens here but
Walking In Dark Places.Walking in Dark Places. Running in Dark Places. Walking in Honesty.1 Thessalonians 4:12-4:12 1Th ..... there is a deep tranquility." Your introverted child knows what
this means. Ages 7-10.
Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson Comments: Every
introverted child will identify as Jess and Leslie create a
secret kingdom in the woods called Terabithia, which they rule
as king and queen. A sad ending teaches children about the real
life difficulties of bridging the inner and outer worlds. This
knowledge will be good preparation for life as an introvert.
Roughly 5th grade.
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle Comments: A well-loved
classic and 1963 Newberry Medal winner. Ages 9 and older learn
about personal power as they travel with the children of a
gifted scientist and a missing physicist through time and space
to triumph over evil. Especially a great book for gifted
introverts. This was my daughter's very most favorite book in
the 5th grade.
The Silver Pony: A Story in Pictures by Lynd Ward Comments: Told
only in pictures, this is the story of a lonely farm boy who
confuses his dreams of adventure on a winged pony with reality.
Loneliness is a concept that is imposed on introverts by
concerned extroverts. This book helps to make a bridge between
your child's reality and that which will be imposed on him or
her from the outside. It is another book that deals with the
"loved real" reality of introverts.
Chasing Redbird by Sharon Creech Comments: For that special
quiet middle child by a Newberry Prize Winner. Zinnia's life
begins to change when she stumbles upon a hidden, overgrown
pathway that stretches from the edge of her family's farm into
the great unknown. The journey begins this way for the
introverted child. Grades 4-6.

centers around a group of four brilliant introverted
12-year-olds and the tea party they have each Saturday morning.

least of all his own. Around 12.
