My thoughts: This one felt PERFECT to me.
Premise/plot: Sometimes Shy is a unique (and lovely) twist on the traditional book about shyness. It stars a little boy who is sometimes shy. In addition to being shy (at least sometimes) it shows that he is observant and thoughtful/wise. There are many observations he makes about the world around him. For example, he notes that while no one does call the sun "shy," it certainly can act that way. It is in some ways a day-in-the-life book. After the school day where he is shy, readers meet him in his element, among his immediate family. He is NOT always shy. Sometimes he's exuberant, talkative, playful, joyful, full of energy and life, holding nothing back.
My thoughts (part 2): I loved this one so much!!! Shyness is NOT condemned in this one. It is honestly explored. I also LOVED that it was not a problem to be solved by the end of the book.… (meer)
