All kids feel shy at times. They might not know what to do or what to say. Or it might take them a while to warm up to people. This picture book helps children overcome shyness with manageable strategies: Plan ahead for parties by practicing what to say or do, Invite a friend home to practice with just one person instead of a group, Join an activity, team, or club, and ask a friend to join too and Build up courage through positive self-talk. With these tools, kids can learn to be more confident and comfortable around other children and adults. A section at the back of the book provides additional activity ideas for children and has a note to adults about how to support kids who are shy.
Ages 6-9
