Sammy Feels Shy : A Big Bright Feelings Book

Sammy Feels Shy 💗

A warm and reassuring story about shyness, self-confidence and finding the courage to be yourself.

Why I chose it

I chose this one for the children who sometimes feel a little shy, overwhelmed or worried about what others think. Sammy loves having fun, but when he’s around lots of people, talking and feeling like everyone is watching him can be difficult. When his shyness turns him bright pink, Sammy must find a way to understand his feelings and feel comfortable being himself again.

I love how this story gently reminds children that feeling shy is nothing to be ashamed of, and that they don’t have to change who they are to belong. A thoughtful book to open conversations about emotions, self-confidence and finding your own way. 🌈
