Reseña del editor

Sophie Shyosaurus was a very shy dinosaur. She got embarrassed at parties, when she met someone new, or if she had to stand up and talk in school. Will she ever be able to stop being shy?

A perfect book to share with children to show that it's okay to be shy, but that there are ways of coping with these feelings.

Includes notes for parents and teachers on how to share this book to help children learn about their emotions.
