It’s Okay to Be Shy 

Your shyness does not define you. You are much, much more than shy.

It’s Okay to Be Shy reads as a heartfelt letter to all children who experience shyness. Through a poetic narrative, this book celebrates what it means to be true to oneself. A person who has a soft-spoken disposition also holds meaningful talents, ideas, and skills within. Every person has a voice and will use it when the time is right. Both comforting and inspiring, this text will resonate with readers of all ages. Remember, it’s okay to be shy. It’s always okay to be you.
