Quiet Storm, Kinderbücher von Kimberly Whittam

Storm's life is a whirlwind. With rollerskating, rock-singing parents, an overachieving big brother and a mischievous dog, Minnie, there is never a dull moment in the Williams' household. But despite the noise around her, Storm is quiet. She's lurked in the shadows since joining Daisy Mill Academy, her classes are difficult, but making friends is even harder and despite being told that she'll 'grow out' of her shyness, she just doesn't know how to. Until one day, Storm breaks the record for the fastest Year 7 sprinter in the history of the Academy. As she's recruited to represent her school in Manchester's highly-anticipated athletic championships, Storm must dig deep and decide whether to continue being known as 'Isaiah's little sister' or finally step into her own spotlight. Quiet Storm is a tender, character-led novel about family, friendship, and finding the confidence to face your anxieties head-on. It teaches us that you don't have to be the loudest person in the room to shine, everyone deserves to take up space, no matter how quiet their voice is.
