Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

A cute illustrated book about introverts and how they feel and behave using animals. The introvert turtle is so relatable, I didn't feel like it added anything new to the introverts books I've read, but the reading process was relaxing and enjoyable, and it's good every now and then to read a book that confirms my introversion.

I thank Netgalley for the digital ARC

“I don’t like small talk. Not because I am unfriendly or dislike conversations-but simply because it feels sort of forced sometimes.”

As a social introvert, sometimes it’s hard for people to understand how, dependent on the setting, I can appear to be both introvert and extrovert. This one line from this book sums up so much of the answer.

Overall, the book’s illustrations are simplistic, yet it really highlights the simplicity in understanding what defines an introvert.

I loved the illustrations and thought Turtle did a fantastic job explaining what it's like to be introverted.

This picture book for adults (which would have been suitable for children if the one and only curse word had been omitted) is a charming and humorous take on the joys and challenges of being an introvert. I really enjoyed it. This would make a cute little coffee table book or a sweet gift for a friend.

A very cute and timely book. Loved the illustrations but had difficulty seeing the font? This may be changed when the book is actually published but the colour of font is to similar to the colour used on the page?

This is a short, sweet book introverts are sure to relate to. The drawings are cute and overall this book is fun- and could also be a good resource for extroverts who have introverts they care for in their lives.
Thanks to Chronicle Books and NetGalley for the advance copy.

I'm an introvert who loves turtles, so when I saw A Turtle's Guide to Introversion on NetGalley, of course I had to request it! This is a really cute book with a great message, and I could definitely relate to the turtle. This book would make a great gift, and I think most introverts would enjoy it. Thanks to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for giving me the opportunity to read it. : )

It is an illustrated book and reframes introversion in a positive way. It is cute but seems more geared to middle school audience rather than adults. It is a decent book but not what I thought it would be - a more in depth discussion of introversion.
Thanks for the opportunity to read this book.

It’s a well established fact that I’m an introvert. Besides my lived experience, I have also found multiple books that could have been written about me.

I found myself on almost every page of Debbie Tung’s ‘Quiet Girl in a Noisy World’. If my introversion was ever in doubt (it wasn’t), the perfect score I achieved on Jenn Granneman’s signs I might be an introvert in her book, ‘The Secret Lives of Introverts’, was a big ‘I told you so’ to any naysayers out there.

If you’re a kindred introvert, you’ll probably get some validation and a reminder that you’re fine just the way you are from this book. If you’ve already read books that talk about introversion on any detail, it’s unlikely you’ll find any new information in this book.

This gift book has cute illustrations. However, I found the colours jarring. I read this book on an iPad; maybe the colours would look better on a different screen. It’s also possible, because I’m mindful that I read an advanced copy, the colour scheme could change prior to publication.

Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for the opportunity to read this book.

This book was very cute to read and expressed the value of going at ones own pace and reflecting on ones feelings. I think this book will be a great addition and reassert young readers feelings of self worth and expression.

I really enjoyed this book, it has a happy feel and flows really well. It is certainly very relatable and makes you feel both at ease and proud to be an introvert!

The images are really cute and detailed, I love the way they cleverly reflect introversion. Tom Mak has absolutely hit the nail on the head with the way he has dipicted intorvesion, and the drawings it to this very well.

A must read for all introverts out there!!

Thank you to Netgalley, Tom Mak and Chronicle Books for an advance copy in return for an honest review.

A Turtle's Guide to Introversion by Ton Mak is a delightful book that familiarizes introversion to its readers. The illustrations are eye catching and the narrative has a smooth flow. The single sentence panels add emphasis without breaking the flow. The book clearly explains the plight of introverts. It clears up a few misconceptions about introversion without getting up on a soap box. I liked the way the book articulates what most introverts go through in everyday life. I enjoyed reading this book and I think that it is a book that should be read by all especially those who see introversion in a negative light.
I thank NetGalley for giving me an opportunity to read this book

A good book to give to your favorite introvert. A book to help extroverts understand introverts. A quick read with cute illustrations. Unfortunately, the neon green and purple colors in the eVersion made some illustrations difficult to see. Any grey text against the purple background was illegible. Other than that, we give this one 4 stars.

This short book is a delightful illustrated portrayal of what it means to be an introvert through the character of a Turtle. While it's a graphic adult nonfiction health & mindfulness book, it's certainly suitable for middle grade and up. The adorable illustrations serve as a good reminder that it's perfectly okay AND valuable to be an introvert, which doesn't always mean the same thing for everyone.

I liked the bright and bold color scheme of this book which symbolically serves to defy the stereotype that introverts are dull or mellow. The Turtle is also a highly creative, interesting and active character who likes to engage in many different activities, and while he enjoys many of them alone, he also likes to spend time with a small circle of close friends.

I found it interesting that I truly related to many of the characteristics of an introvert in this book but also love to hang out in large groups, attend parties and confidently speak in front of crowds. And that's okay not not fit inside a narrow box. But I have to be honest and say I do wish this book was longer and and went more in depth into psychology or social expectations.

*Thank you to the Publisher for a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a really cute, feel-good book. We follow around an introverted turtle who presents to us what introverts usually like, do, think and with what they struggle.
This book can help people better understand introverts. It can offer a comfort to introverted people by showing them that they are not weird or alone, that it's okay to like different things than others and do things in different ways than people usually do. The book makes you feel understood. I think it's appropriate for younger readers as well. It could also make a great gift for introverts in your life.
I expected the book to be more humorous, but it has more down-to-earth feel because of the simple writing consisting only of listing facts, stating things. That's why I liked illustrations way more that the actual writing, they are really cute and quite funny!

I thought this was a very cute book about introversion. As an introvert, I could relate to this book a lot and I feel like others could learn about introversion through this book. I liked how the main character followed was a turtle because many people see turtles as shyer creatures.

This quick little illustrated book is a peaceful, reflective read for introverts. The drawings are cute, and the text provides simple reminders about all the things that introverts enjoy (and also the things they find challenging). It makes for a few pleasant and mindful moments.

As I was scrolling through Netgalley, this one jumped out at me , simply due to its name and cover. I  had not read or seen any of Ton Mak's previous work, but I ended up picking this one!
I guess it was meant to be. I am not a full introvert  but I do possess certain characteristics which make me relate to being one.
This was a very short and quick read. (took me a few minutes, that's all! )
The illustrations were cute and in context to the situation described. Ton Mak has brought out the essence of being an introvert  exceptionally well in a few short sentences, none of which are preachy.
Through extremely relatable situations, she has brought  forth the   criticism and misunderstanding that a lot of introverts face and has effectively displayed an introvert's POV.

Peppered with humour, it covered my face with a lot of smiles  and I found myself nodding along in agreement at many places.
Introverts, definitely go through a lot of turmoil as  they learn to identify themselves as one and society does not make  it easier for them. This short illustration, would definitely come as a soothing and insightful balm during such times.

It makes it easier for introverts to accept and understand themselves, and provides a boost to their confidence.
And the best part is, the book can be easily comprehended  by an extrovert who wishes to or needs to understand the opposite type  to a certain extent.

For the younger lot, I would definitely recommend this one as it is simple, informative, entertaining and gets the idea across in a very short span of time. 
A growing child, irrespective of its personality, will benefit from being aware  of the information presented here.
For adults too, it would work as a good reminder to accept themselves as they are and to celebrate their personality irrespective of what the rest might have to say about it.

On a side note, I especially loved the turtle and would love to experience this as an animation 😊

Thank you to Netgalley and Ton Mak for making this ARC available! It gave me a lovely few minutes this morning.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
As an introvert, this book is very relatable. The illustrations are simple but cute. Fun, quick read. It would make a good little gift or coffee table book.
