Synopsis
This extraordinary debut picture book addresses an issue not often covered in picture books: shyness. In this story, a variety of mythical creatures--including a cyclops, a dragon, and Bigfoot--may seem fierce, but are quite shy, as one little girl discovers. Full color., What does a shy girl want to be when she grows up? A doctor, but not just any doctor-this little girl wants to care for creatures who may seem intimidating, but are really very shy, just like she is. David Mack's extraordinary picture book debut is perfect to read aloud with creatures little and big, shy and outgoing, who believe in the magic of imagination.
