I Used to Be Shy: An Illustrated Story with Songs About Inclusion, Belonging, and Compassion, Book 2 in The Carla Stories

Does your child ever sit by themselves—alone and seemingly friendless? In I Used to Be Shy, meet Carla, our self-appointed social committee of one, who makes everyone at summer camp feel welcome. Carla spots a shy new boy who hides from others in his cabin, closing his curtain. Carla follows her heart and gathers a small group of fellow campers to coax him out to play games. With Carla’s encouragement, our new camper builds up his self-confidence, loses his fear, and learns to enjoy his new friends. The bonus song “Little Brown Pony” includes the lyrics and music notations as does “I Used to Be Shy.”
