Sammy feels shy. Sometimes it's hard to talk to new people, join in with games or speak up in class, and Sammy would rather stay in the background. But with a little understanding and encouragement, Sammy begins to discover that being shy is okay, and that there are ways to feel braver one small step at a time. Part of Tom Percival's much-loved Big Bright Feelings series, this gentle, reassuring story helps children understand shyness and find the confidence to try new things at their own pace.
