Sasha Feels Shy: A reassuring picture book for all little wolf cubs who need a bit more time to join in

I just want to hide behind mummy!

Sasha has been invited to a playdate at Leo's. Leo bounces up and down as he wants to play cafe, start a band, and fly to the moon. It's all too much for Sasha who wants to go back home. How can Sasha manage her shyness and show Leo that she really does want to make friends?

A reassuring story for anyone who has ever felt shy, and for those of us who need more time to warm up socially. In a world that focuses on extroverts, this little wolf cub shows that introverts enjoy company too ... when they're ready to play!

A funny, heartwarming picture book that explores shyness with empathy, by the award-winning creator of Pavlo Gets the Grumps.
