Shy

By Harry Woodgate

Timmy battles his inner anxious lion in this picture book about friendship and how to overcome anxiety.

This is Timmy! Nothing pleases him more than performing. At least, until it's in front of an audience. Timmy lives in the shadow of the anxious lion inside him, who loves to burst out unexpectedly and shatter his confidence with a tremendous roar. As Timmy dreads the upcoming school play, he befriends his classmate Nia. It's this friendship that will help Timmy overcome his shyness and tame the lion. But when it's time to go on stage, Timmy feels the familiar swish of the lion's tail. What will Timmy do?

A story of resilience and friendship, but above all, a story of courage.
