- "Shy Me" is the next book in the "Emotions and Me" series, following on the success of "Angry Me" and "Peaceful Me." - Written in the same style as the previous titles, this book explores the different times and ways a child might feel shy, and how they might cope with their feelings. - Ashley Barron's illustrations beautifully support the text and provide a fresh look that also complements the art by Rahele Jomepour Bell in the first two titles. - Both text and art speak directly to the heart of anyone who has ever felt shy. A valuable addition to books that explore social-emotional learning. 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
