It’s too easy to assume the world is made for the ones who make the most noise. So often, shy observant children regretfully notice what makes them different (and even lacking) from their louder peers. Sometimes Shy is refreshing in how it portrays a reserved child in a new light, one in which they appreciate the ways nature can be shy and wonderful too. How I wish my younger self could hear this powerful and poetic validation of being just who you are!

The little green thing, however, cannot stay a little green thing forever, and the book explores friendship through change in words and images both as gorgeous as they are simple.
