Sometimes Shy

Sometimes Shy by Julie Bliven and illustrator, Dang Khoa Tran, this book takes a look at shyness, recognizing that being shy is not a bad trait, and in some situations, we might not be shy at all!

The boy in this story notices that some objects around seem to have shyness traits_a seedling that is slow to sprout, a marker timid to let its color out. When the boy is walking home from school with his brother, he doesn’t feel shy at all. Just like the ocean tide, sometimes we’re shy, and sometimes we are big and booming like the crash of ocean waves.
