"This was terrifying. There were so many people here and she didn't know any of them. What was she going to do? She felt too shy to say a single word."
My 4-year-old son is a shy person. We read this book which explores shyness in short story form. The story follows Daisy who helps others with their shyness. First there is a new girl at school who is keeping themselves to themselves so Daisy introduces herself to her and they become friends. Then there is a boy at a party who isn't joining in with the games so Daisy partners up with him for the games and he enjoys himself. Then Daisy's little sister becomes shy when relatives come to visit so Daisy helps her come out of her hiding place. Finally Daisy herself is shy when she goes to Badminton class for the first time. She doesn't join in. She knows no one. Then she remembers helping others and does join in and enjoys it.
I asked my son if he ever feels shy and he said yes. I asked him how can he stop feeling shy and he said by "making friends". So this book offers a safe way to talk about his feelings around being shy. The other books in the series would do the same too (for the feelings of being angry, frightened, jealous, sad and worried).

Many kids and even adults struggle with being shy. Its very hard to get over, however this book does an excellent job/example on how to get over shyness. The main character lily has always been outspoken and never really shy, she actually gives the new girls tips on how to over come it. Which are realistic tips that readers could use in the real world. Anyway one day lily is faced with being shy and she has to follow her own example/hints on how to over come it. This is a great self acuatlization book.

Feeling Shy!
Kay Barnham
Published 2017/ 40 pages
I felt that the storyline of the book was kind of all over the place. However, I did like that at the end of the book, it had guided questions available for adults to ask children. Likewise, I could use this book during read aloud to discuss the concept of shyness.
