The essence of my problem is that it never leaves me... Wherever I go, there it is - disturbing me and obstructing my work. My problem is so annoying. It's a big problem, really. How do I get rid of it? My problem is my shyness! But is it really a problem? Or is it what makes me special?

A girl has lived with being shy all her life - this emotion is always with her. How does she learn to live with it and make friends? This story is not just for a shy child learning to understand her emotions, but also told in a way that her family and people around her can recognise the situation and nurture their own empathy.
