Shy

Timmy battles his inner anxious lion in this illustrated album about friendship and overcoming anxiety.

Meet Timmy! Nothing pleases him more than performing. At least, until it's in front of an audience. Timmy lives in the shadow of his inner anxious lion, who likes to appear without warning and chase away all his self-confidence with a huge roar. As Timmy dreads the upcoming school play, he befriends his classmate Nia. It's this camaraderie that helps Timmy overcome his shyness and tame the lion. But when it's time to go on stage, Timmy feels the familiar beat of the lion's tail. What will Timmy do?

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