Some children are loud.
Some children are bold.
And some children are quiet.
It's Okay to Be Shy is a gentle and reassuring picture book about a young girl learning to face her fears in her own way. When she is asked to stand in front of her class and speak, her heart feels nervous and her voice feels small. But little by little, she discovers that trying-even in quiet ways-is a kind of bravery.
With soft, heartfelt illustrations and simple, comforting words, this story celebrates children who may not always speak the loudest, but feel deeply and grow at their own pace.
Perfect for shy children, sensitive readers, and anyone learning that courage doesn't have to be loud to be strong.
