Charlotte and Chopin are two young bunnies aspiring to be orchestra conductors. Their futures seem equally promising until Charlotte's shyness intrudes upon her goals. Can Charlotte learn to overcome her shyness with the help of her brother Chopin? Shy is full of art, musical instruments, and charmingly rendered animals from around the globe. It is an inspirational story of overcoming timidity through belief in one's self and supportive family.Shy also happens to be a good introduction to a broad range of animals from around the globe. Many of the animals are on the endangered species list. The last page is titled a credits page which gives an index of all the animals featured in the book's illustrations, so that curious young people can use their devices and search engines to learn more.
