Too Shy to Say Hi

Making friends can be tough, but this rhyming picture book will help navigate difficulties of shyness and social anxiety. Shelli used to be pretty content in her little world, thinking that her pet friends with feathers, fins, and fur were enough.

Her bird would keep her company at home, her fish would hideaway in his cave, and her dog was the social butterfly of the neighborhood.

But now, Shelli is determined to try to make friends with kids at school.

Readers will relate as Shelli takes brave steps toward breaking out of her shell. Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers by Elizabeth McCallum, PhD, with more information about shyness and social anxiety.
