Mom's Review

Sasha Feels Shy is an adorably illustrated story about how two children handle their shyness in different ways. Readers can see Sasha's internal excitement and external social discomfort throughout the story, but only learn at the end that the other child's gregarious behavior is a cover for shyness as well. By the end, both children are ready to play together. This validation of shyness will resonate with youngsters who may be reticent to join in new activities and will reassure them that participating at their own comfort level can pave the way to strong friendships. Perfect for readers who are shy or who may need help understanding a perspective different from their own.
