One of a series of books aimed at Key Stage 1 pupils which will be of use both at home and at school. What is shyness and how does it affect people? Do you blush or want to hide? There are different reasons for feeling shy, and lots of people feel that way at least some of the time. Is there any way to help? You can tell someone, or try joining in games, or help someone else who is feeling shy. Feelings change, so you may not always feel shy, but there will probably always be some times when you feel less self-assured. People who are shy can be quiet and withdrawn - they aren't rude. It's good to be sensitive to those who may need help. Remember, it won't last forever. The pictures are expressive and complement the text nicely. Because this series is aimed at quite young children, a picture glossary and a short index are included.
