I'm Happy; I'm Shy

These two books should appeal to children and adults alike. With their vivid and cheerful comic illustrations, large print and sympathetic approach, they will be useful for the literacy hour as well as PSHE lessons. Each book has notes for parents and teachers – helpful for lesson planning – and a short list of further stories to read on the subject. I’m Shy is a particularly sensitive and witty approach to a painful emotion. I’m Happy is welcome as showing a positive emotion, but also includes the opposite feelings of anger and sadness. Other books in the series cover boredom, loneliness, worrying, unfairness, and feeling bullied.
