“This book is the encouragement I wish I had when my kids were younger. In these pages, Jamie manages to both lovingly remind us introverts that we're not alone in our parenting experiences, and inspire us to roll up our sleeves and do the beautiful work of raising our kids our way, leaning into the way we're made instead of fighting against it. Her voice is full of wisdom, humor, and much needed here-in-the-trenches-with-you.” (from Amazon)
