Description

"Shy loves birds, but he's only ever read about them in books. When a real bird finally comes along, he's dying to meet her, but he's too afraid to get leave the gutter of the book. Can he put aside his fears, step out onto the page, and get to know her?"--

Shy loved stories, and he loved birds. He especially loved stories about birds. Having never heard a bird's trill in real life, but only read about them in the pages of his beloved books, Shy is delighted when one flies by, and sets out to follow him. Will he succeed in making contact with this

enchanting avian stranger, or will he prove too shy...?

A sweet picture-book tribute to shy bookworms everywhere, Shy pairs an engaging tale, one which will keep young reader/listeners guessing as to its eponymous hero's identity until the end, with lovely artwork that captures the beauty of the world, both real and imagined, around Shy. Recommended to anyone looking for stories that offer affirmation to shy children, and encouragement to the idea of venturing out into the world and making friends.

What can I say? I adore Shy. I love the concept of this book and the way it was illustrated. Shy is possibly one of my new favorite picture book characters.
