Sandra V Feder: Shy Me, Gebunden

Klappentext

A shy young child talks about situations when shyness takes over and what helps them engage more fully.

In this compassionate exploration of shyness, a child describes feeling shy in a variety of home, social and school situations. These include meeting a new person, being in a crowded place and being on stage for a class performance. Sometimes the child feels shy with friends or when trying to make a new friend.  

When feeling shy, the child tries to be brave and identify what might help in each situation. Sometimes it helps to go slowly, find a quiet place or practice for a performance. And sometimes what helps is finding a buddy or noticing that other children feel shy too.

Sandra V. Feder's nuanced text and Ashley Barron's cut-paper collage illustrations together create an endearing character who finds a way to cope with shy feelings. Joining Angry Me and Peaceful Me in the Emotions and Me series, Shy Me is sure to strike a chord with anyone who has ever felt or still feels shy.
