Shy: A Picture Book

From New York Times bestselling mother-daughter duo Julie Andrews & Emma Walton Hamilton and bestselling illustrator Eva Byrne comes an empowering tale of finding your voice--starring a shy puppy who discovers the magic of music

Shy is the smallest and quietest pup at the shelter. The world feels big, loud, and a bit scary to her sweet and gentle soul.

But when a man with kind eyes brings her home, she feels safe with her new best friend--and keeps him company while he practices at his piano. Beautiful, unfamiliar sounds dance in the air when the piano man plays, and something inside her begins to stir.

The piano man has an important performance ahead--but it may be a performance no one, especially the piano man, ever expected.

Inspired by Julie Andrews's real-life "singing" dog, this uplifting picture book invites readers to find their voice and share their talents with the world.
