In Verlegen Vrienden ontmoeten we een kleine roze octopus op zijn eerste dag op de vissenschool; Maurice vindt het moeilijk om vrienden te maken omdat hij niet zo opvalt. Niet in de klas, niet in de pauze. Maar dat betekent niet dat deze octopus stil is, nee het verre van. Want het liefst gaat Maurice na school direct naar de diepzee disco waar hij helemaal tot leven komt.
Maar vrienden maken is toch zo lastig als je verlegen bent en eigenlijk het liefst danst wanneer niemand anders het ziet. Maar als Maurice wordt uitgenodigd voor een feestje en toch besluit te gaan zal er misschien wel iets heel speciaals gebeuren.
Van de hand van Simona Ciraolo en in de vertaling van schrijver en dichter Wout Waanders is dit prachtige prentenboek nu ook in Nederland aangekomen. Een kleurrijke onderwaterwereld is helemaal niet zo anders als die van ons, ook daar is de ene vis wat introvert of extroverter dan de andere. En dat is helemaal oké.
Op Books & Macchiatos is nu mijn volledige recensie te lezen, waar ik vooral heel veel mooie dingen zeg over de prachtige illustraties in Verlegen Vrienden en uitleg waarom het verhaal voor mij echt hartverwarmend is.

Un libro bonito en el que los más peques tímidos pueden sentirse identificados.

This book probably has the cutest illustrations I have ever seen, I am completely in love.
The target group for the book are children around 3 years and it deals with the topic of understanding your own feelings. Recommended.

I like the art in this book. The sweet short story about being shy and acceptance is an important one.

Wat een verademing in een steeds verder verdigitaliserend prentenboekenlandschap! Een lief boek met een helder verhaal, met wat knorrigheid en een simpele twist. De platen zijn uitnodigend, met details maar overzichtelijk. Gewoon een heel fijn prentenboek!

SHY ONES is a sweet look at friendship and the people (or sea creatures) who are shy. The story is about Maurice, the adorable flapjack octopus. Maurice is sometimes hard to spot, because he doesn't stand out in class (when the other children are raising their hands, he is hiding under the desk) or on the playground. However, when no one is watching, he's an amazing dancer.
Maurice is invited to dress-up party, and when his parent RSVP's yes (even though he doesn't want to go), he creates a colorful paper bag to wear. Once at the party, he meets with a friend who is shy like him (hiding under a similar paper bag)- Lucy, the box fish. The book concludes by saying the shy ones always know how to find each other.
What I loved: The illustrations here are so lovely. They capture the ocean atmosphere and the adorable creatures herein so well. Children will love trying to spot the hiding Maurice on each page. After you have read the book, you will notice that if you go back, you can also spot Lucy hiding throughout, and this adds to the fun of multiple reads. The text is simple, which works for a broad range of ages ad the pages can turn quickly, making this great for even young toddlers. Whether shy or outgoing, this book will capture children's attention with the cute creatures, bright colors, and simple text. This picture book speaks to the feeling of being different and making friends.
Final verdict: Perfect for fans of HELLO, MY NAME IS OCTICORN, SHY ONES is a sweet and lovely read that will capture children's imaginations. Young readers will love following Maurice in this endearing book about friendship and feeling different.
Please note that I received an ARC. All opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this sweet story. I was able to read it on Epic.com, it doesn't seem to be available for purchase yet. This is a story about a shy and introverted little octopus. We learn that though he may not be front and center in class and on the playground, he has interests and passions if you get to know him. His mother accepts a party invitation on his behalf and he begrudgingly goes, only to find another shy fish friend! A match made in heaven! Though they are both quiet and not necessarily the same, they respect each other and enjoy each other's company.
I think this is a great book for everyone. Introverts can relate to it, and extroverts can learn to pay a little closer attention to their introverted friends.
This story also features beautiful illustrations with the "shy fish" hiding in each picture. It would be fun to reread with children to see if they can spot the shy fish!
A fun, delightful read that I highly recommend!

3-1/2 stars because I love the author/illustrator and the illustrations were gorgeous, just not as much a fan of the story.

A flapjack octopus (!) is shy and hides from the crowded school of fish. Described by an outside narrator. Warrants a second look at the art.

The sweetest picture book with bright and colorful illustrations, I just love them! And the main topic of the story is so good - it explains shyness to kids. Let's hope the world would become a kinder place because of such books.

Um livro cheio de cores e ilustrações belas, com uma história a defender as pessoas tímidas.. que sejam melhor compreendidas ^^

Cute. Can be read by a shy child or someone you are encouraging to notice the sky child.

»»» A compra:
Minha nossa! Que fofo! Ui, conheço este nome… espera, eu adorei o outro livro desta autora! – Todos estes pensamentos seguidos da compra, óbvio.
»»» A aventura:
Um pequeno polvo que é extremamente tímido, que se esconde quando outros estão presentes e se liberta quando ninguém está à vista, encontra numa festa alguém especial, que poderá compreendê-lo.

Bastante bom.
A fofura que vemos na capa atravessa toda a obra, praticamente todas as páginas são deslumbrantes e cativantes.
Como o livro é curto, acaba por não desenvolver muito a personagem e só por isso é que não dou 5*, porque no final parecia faltar mais um conjunto de páginas para uma conclusão (voltei à minha crítica e vim alterar para 5* porque é um livro que fica memória e estaria a ser injusta, porque, quando penso nisso, é uma obra imperdível).
Um livro lindo para todas as idade, incluindo todos os tímidos.
»»» Nota final (capa e outras considerações):
--- [Capa] – A capa foi um íman, ali no escaparate de destaque da loja. Das capas mais bonitas que já tive o prazer de comprar.
--- [Ilustração] – O talento de dar umas cores incríveis às páginas por parte desta autora é um mimo. O livro anterior que tenho dela, da mesma editora, “Quero um abraço”, tem a mesma linha e também este foi só ver a capa e fiquei logo fascinada.
--- [Visibilidade] – Creio que, por azar, este livro saiu em Portugal durante a pandemia, no período do confinamento, e creio que tenha sido por isso que o vi pouco nos escaparates. Aliás, penso que foi por sorte do destino que passei pela livraria naquele dia, só para comprar este “pequeno”, porque acho que não o voltei a ver nas livrarias. Ele merecia mais.

I like Simona Ciraolo but I didn't like this one much. It just sort of felt like there wasn't much there there, like the story was too thin. The illustrations were cute and unique, but basically it's like this octopus is shy and comes off as kind of unfriendly and a grump, but he's just shy, but there's not a huge amount of movement in the narrative. My 3.5 year old who has historically been quite shy and connects well to stories about shyness seemed fairly indifferent.
July 24, 2021
Simona Ciraolo, escritora e ilustradora, estudió animación en 2D en la National Film School de Italia, país natal, para posteriormente mudarse a Inglaterra en donde realizó un grado de ilustradora de libros infantiles.
Ha escrito e ilustrado numerosos libros destacando entre ellos "Abrázame", publicado por SM en 2016, y ganador del Flying Eye Book en 2014.
Sus libros suelen ser emotivos y consiguen transmitir grandes mensajes tanto a niños como adultos.
"Los tímidos" es su último cuento, y a través de él nos va a hablar sobre uno de los sentimientos más comunes como es la vergüenza.
Antes de adentrarnos en el contenido del libro decir que el formato es ideal para los más pequeños, tanto por la disposición horizontal como por el tipo de papel tan resistente con el que está hecho.
El estilo de la autora es conciso, sus oraciones son cortas y precisas y destaca por su interacción directa con el lector infantil, lo que no solo le permite comprender de forma accesible el mensaje, sino que se siente parte de la historia.
La letra es grande y redondeada, un punto que en mi opinión no permite que los primeros lectores puedan leer al no ser letra ligada. No obstante, a pesar de esto, el álbum cuenta con más ilustraciones que texto lo que si bien no permite seguir la lectura por medio escrito facilita que se haga por medio visual.
El estilo de Simona en cuanto al diseño es armonioso y divertido, destaca por usar tonos pasteles, alegres y variados colores lo que vitaliza la edición al mismo tiempo que no satura ni crea estrés visual, debido a la cantidad ingente de elementos existente en la escena. Las figuras se encuentran equilibradas y son tiernas y amables.
Cada página está compuesta por una lámina que parece un mural diferente lleno de preciosos colores, fondos y dibujos muy armónicos con un estilo común.
En cuanto al grosso del libro, se trata de una historia sencilla, lineal y potente. A pesar de que a priori parezca un cuento entretenido, en su interior se encierran grandes mensajes con los que poder trabajar emociones, personalidades y valores como el respeto, la igualdad, la paciencia, la amistad, la diversidad o la aceptación.
Además de ello, la autora introduce un juego de discriminación visual en donde el lector debe buscar al tímido pulpo en cada una de las escenas. Esto no solo crea interés y dinamiza la participación del niño durante la lectura, sino que además desarrolla habilidades no cognitivas fundamentales como la atención o la percepción.
Su final es completamente inesperado y deja con una sensación tan sorprendente que no puedes evitar desear volver a hacer una relectura, ya que, como un juego de detectives, Simona deja pistas a lo largo de la historia que pasan completamente imperceptibles ante el lector y es al final en donde descubres todo lo que ha ocurrido sin que te dieras cuenta de ello durante el proceso.
Cabe destacar que a lo largo del cuento no se dan nombres ni géneros y la acción se desarrolla en la escuela, lugar conocido por los pequeños, esto conlleva a que en su conjunto los lectores puedan sentirse fácilmente identificados tanto en situación como con los personajes.
He de reconocer que incluso a mí, que he leído mucha literatura infantil, me ha parecido un libro lleno de originalidad, exquisitez y belleza. Por ello y por todo lo anteriormente mencionado lo he disfrutado como no lo había hecho desde hace tiempo con un libro infantil y no me queda de otra que recomendarlo abiertamente, puesto que lo considero un estímulo ideal para los niños desde los 2 a los 6 años.
Trabajado con sus correspondientes adaptaciones, "Los tímidos" es un libro capaz de hacer descubrir a los pequeños múltiples mensajes positivos que les permita conocerse a sí mismos y a su entorno más cercano, las relaciones personales e incluso las interpersonales partiendo de la empatía y el respeto.
Se trata de un libro muy didáctico a la par que entretenido que puede llegar a formar parte de los favoritos de cualquier biblioteca infantil.
En conclusión, "Los tímidos" es un álbum maravilloso y sutil en donde el propio lector forma parte del proceso y debe sacar sus propias conclusiones. Para mí se convierte en un imprescindible.

Shy Ones is the story of an octopus called Maurice who is shy and likes to blend in to the background rather than be the centre of attention but one day he isn't invited to a party and he finds things turn our different than he planned.
This is a nice story and one that I think that some of the children found very relatable but the story is not the most interesting to read. The storyline itself is lovely and I think it's great that it bring some awareness to the shyness of some and shows that they still want to be accepted and find a friend even if it's more difficult but I found the story seemed to be lacking in detail and the story could have been better. Maybe I just didn't like the writing style but at times the story seemed quite basic.
The illustrations are beautiful with lots of pretty pastel colours and the underwater theme it kept the children's attention. They loved looking for Maurice in each page nearer the start of the story when he blended into the background. The ending of the story was lovely and I like that it showed that you're not alone and there's always someone else out there that may be just like you.
This is a nice idea for a story but I think it could have been improved with better writing. The pictures make for a beautiful book though and I think the topic is such an important one to highlight so shy children don't get forgotten and can find some friends like Maurice.

Esta não deixa de ser uma história que causa alguma surpresa, pois estamos à espera que Maurício perca a sua timidez...
. O facto de o final da história ser diferente daquilo que à partida eu estaria à espera poderia ser uma boa razão para gostar dela... Mas infelizmente, fiquei com a sensação de ser um final anticlimático ...

A colorful coral reef is the setting for this quirky picture book about shyness. Maurice, a flapjack octopus, is new to Fish School. He hides behind his mother as they arrive, under the desk in class, and among coral and sea plants everywhere else. But, at the Deep Blue Dance Hall he shows his stuff. At a birthday party which he begrudgingly attends, he meets another shy one: Lucy, the box fish. Beguiling jewel tone colors and gorgeous fishy scenes underwater showcase Ciraolo’s artistic story telling, with the end papers introducing the characters. A lovely, quiet book to contemplate, perhaps with a shy little one on your lap.

What a wonderful little book!
I was a huge fan of the author's first book: Hug me! and I am not disappointed by this next one.
It's the story of a little octopus who's just plain shy and who has trouble adapting to life at school, in class or at recess. It's hard to participate or to make friends.
I like the themes that were dealt with in this book, the illustrations are cute and the text is often funny, but it's also so much more than that. I think a lot of kids will identitfy with the octopus and how hard it is to be yourself when you are shy and introverted.
A very important book, def recommend!

This was the choice for Bethany, OK, June storywalk, as partnered with "Oceans of Possibilities" summer reading program. It's an absolutely adorable book, especially for those of us who like to remain on the sidelines, including those of us who appreciated Quiet:. Lovely colors, and a wonderful ending. My youngest son, now age 26. walked with me, and very much enjoyed the story amd art, too.
I enjoyed it so much I'm requesting a paper copy to bring home and read to myself.
And of course I want more by the author-illustrator.
Probably inspired by youtube's bevy of shy octopuses, for example "Shy Octopus Hides Inside Its Own Tentacles | Nautilus Live."
---
Now have read in paper. Which was even lovelier as I could pore over details.

A sweet picture book about a shy young Flapjack Octopus named Maurice, who is good at blending in but definitely not boring. Beautiful illustrations of underwater scenes with a hand-drawn quality that brings a tonne of personality to the book. The story itself is simple, with a positive message and a surprise at the end that makes for a fun reread. Ideal for a close reading rather than a class or storytime as there are lots of details (and an octopus) hiding amongst the coral. Best for reading ages 4+.

August 13, 2021Anda aí um miúdo novo. Já deram por ele? Talvez ainda nem tenham reparado, ele não gosta de dar nas vistas. O Maurício é um pequeno polvo-panqueca muito tímido. Prefere ficar sossegado no seu canto, sem levantar a mínima onda. Mas se o vissem quando ele acha que ninguém está por perto...

Een boek over een heel verlegen klein octopusje! Superzoet!
Ik zag dit boek liggen in de bibliotheek en tja, die moest natuurlijk mee! De cover was gewoon te schattig en ik kon geen nee zeggen. Haha.
Ik heb even getwijfeld of ik mijn review op mijn blog nog naar Engels zou vertalen, maar ik heb toch maar besloten om het Nederlands te houden. Het voelde toch beter zo. Gelukkig voor mijn Engelse/niet-Nederlandse lezers doet Google Translate het nog best goed om deze reviews te vertalen.
Wat een heerlijk zoet en schattig boek is dit zeg! Maurice was erg leuk, en ik vond het leuk om te zoeken naar hem want hij was zo verlegen dat hij zich steeds verstopte. Overal. Onder van alles en tussen van alles. Ik ben zelf ook verlegen, niet zo erg als Maurice, maar ik herkende het verstoppen wel. Het niet willen gaan naar feestjes. Gewoon lekker thuis blijven.
Er was ook een erg leuke verrassing die ik niet aan had zien komen. Tja, gegeven de manier waarop het geschreven was had ik misschien een idee kunnen hebben, maar ik dacht dat het gewoon een speciale verteller manier was. Hopelijk klinkt dat logisch, mijn hoofd zegt ja, maar als ik het zo zie geschreven twijfel ik eventjes, haha. Ik moest ook enorm lachen om hoe de ouder van Maurice maar gewoon JA tekende op de uitnodiging. Die wilde ook gewoon dat Maurice wat vriendjes kon vinden.
Het einde maakte me helemaal blij! Wat lief! 😍
De illustraties waren echt top, die waren echt heel mooi gedaan. Leuke gezichtsexpressies, mooie kleuren, en meer!
Al met al, een boek dat ik echt helemaal zou aanraden! Ik heb er enorm van genoten, veel ge-awwed en ge-ohhed.

Je meurs c'est beaucoup trop mignon !
Dans ce livre, on suit Maurice, un poulpe très timide. C'est une parfaite histoire pour les enfants plutôt extravertis, qui n'aiment pas trop ou ne parle pas aux enfants timides. Et parfait aussi pour les enfants timides et comme quoi c'est ok de l'être aussi. Une histoire qui parle de tolérance et d'accepter les différences de chacun.
J'a également beaucoup aimé les dessins et les couleurs éclatantes. Adorable.

A gentle, sweet story about a little octopus who is very shy but wants others to understand him and who he really is. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and the story does a wonderful job explaining that everyone is different and just because someone may be a little quiet or introspective doesn't mean that they don't have so much they want to offer and contribute.

A little flapjack octopus is shy (encourage kids to find him hiding on each page) but is a good dancer. When his mom RSVP's to a fancy dress party invitation on his behalf, he is upset, but soon he finds another wallflower, Lucy the box fish, and they befriend each other. Could be a good book to talk about shyness.

A book about the shy ones. Flying Eye never disappoints in its beauty and style. I love the main character and how he's not all he appears to be (shy? maybe, but not when dancing!). He has depth beyond just being "a shy one." I especially love the scene where the mom commits him to the party and he protests by wearing a not so happy face mask lol! Great!

A sweet little book for the shy and/or introverted kids, showing them that they can seek out others in quiet corners and find their people if they put themselves out there just a little.
I like that it debunks some stereotypes about not being fun or friendly just because you are the type of person who gets overwhelmed in big groups or loud settings.
