Simple and relatable. The story is about an inverted turtle and just is. I'm familiar with the author and their style of art. The overal tone of the book is peaceful. It's about being introversed, being comfortable in your own skin, being true to who you are. Could be perfect as book gift.

This is such a wonderful celebration of introvert people. This explains introversion in such a beautiful, calm and easy way. It honestly warmed my heart.
The drawings in this book were also very beautiful.
I think this is a good book to easily explain what introversion is. As an introvert you feel very accepted by it.

Sweet, succinct and an extremely relatable view of introversion from a fellow turtler with cute illustrations..

This was a soothing book letting people know that being an introvert is not such a bad thing. I was a little put off by the colors of the book and hope they change the coloring before printing.

I really enjoyed the book because it is a quick read and it shows the bright side of being an introvert. I think during this quarantine time introverts are really thriving and it’s nice to hear the positives of it. I really enjoy the illustrations and the fact that it is a cute turtle.

Thank you for the ARC of A Turtles Guide to Introversion @NetGalley. This turtle is my spirit animal, I loved the little guy so much. There is a great message in here about self care and the illustrations are nothing less than adorable. It was a great read and I know it will be a go to when I need something that gets me! . #ATurtlesGuidetoIntroversion #NetGalley

Very cute colorful book, but it was extremely hard to see the text on some of the pages. Cute book for turtle lovers or anyone who is a introvert and proud of it!!

A Turtle's Guide to Introversion by Ton Mak is a celebration of the world's introverts and I am here for it!

I absolutely loved this book. It was so cute, fun, and light hearted. I loved the cartoons and the perspective of the turtle. I can so relate! This book brought a smile to my face and a little joy to my heart!

I can definitely see myself ordering multiple copies of this book, one for me and one for each of my fellow introvert friends!

I'm so grateful to Ton Mak, Chronicle Books, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

I can imagine giving this gift to a young person who is just realizing that they are introverted. It is a lovely little set of illustrations that explain what being an introvert might mean and how powerful that is. I think this would be a great book for anyone aged 8 or older.

It was a light read, with an interesting topic and comprehensible characters. I was not very pleased with the color choice of the illustrations. The illustration was actually nice, but the color scheme did not work for me, it was not complementing the relaxing and light story.

"A Turtle's Guide to Introversion is a delightful illustrated gift book that celebrates the wonderful qualities of introverts through the everyday adventures of a turtle."

There are almost too many good things about this book to list. I absolutely adored the little turtle and could really relate to most situations presented. I loved how easily this book depicted situations I sometimes struggle with as an adult and normalized being an introvert. The drawings are absolutely delightful and convey the message clearly and succinctly. I highly recommend this short book.

This little nugget by author/artist Ton Mak featuring a turtle talking about what it’s like to be an introvert will likely check all the boxes for those of you like myself who understand it so keenly on a day-to-day basis. The simple line drawings are cute and effective - though I’m not sure I entirely understand the thing between the turtle’s eyes. Is it a nose? I’m confused. It’s a minor thing - it just threw me a little visually. The content is spot-on. I doubt anyone who’s a bonafide introvert will hear anything they didn’t already know, so in that respect, it might be a better gift for someone’s extroverted friends and family to give them insight into why you tick the way you do. Having said that, there is a nice sense of empowerment and validation for us introverts - like, hey … you’re not weird! Well, you might be a little weird, but that’s OK! Aren’t we all a little weird? ... No? ... Just me? I’m cool with that.

It’s a short, breezy, thoughtful read. It could be a cute little jumping off point for discussion with those extroverts in your life who look at you and scratch their heads.

I just looked and, in addition to a previous book A Sloth’s Guide to Mindfulness, Mak has a website flabjacks.com which displays her art. Most of it is very colorful, in contrast to the more subdued line art style used in the book. Bonus, though: I figured out what the thing between the turtle’s eyes is. It’s a mouth. I can sleep easy now.

The overall story is super cute, the illustration style is not my cup of tea but it works really well with the story.

A very sweet and charming book about being introverted and the joys of it. I absolutely adored this book and found myself relating to it very much. It’s a perfect read for anyone who is an introvert! The artwork was cute and the book itself had a lot of fun moments and very relatable statements!
