Verity Finds Her Voice - by Kristin Kelly (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

When quiet, shy
Verity eventually finds the courage to speak up, she discovers that standing on
her own two feet can be amazing!

Verity is a shy preschooler who is accommodating and
quiet, and always does whatever others tell her. She picks up after her
friends, has no say in games, and even plays second fiddle to a drooling baby
at the doctor's office. After a typical week of quiet deference to everyone
around her, Verity is miserable.

But when she is overlooked at swimming class (her most
favorite thing of all), Verity realizes something needs to change -- and she
discovers within herself the courage to speak up. What she finds is that by
speaking up in a polite, positive way, she can change her world for the better
and find joy in asserting herself.

Verity Finds Her Voice will help children who might be a
little scared to speak up learn that not only is it okay to be assertive, but
it can bring happiness, and that being a good friend to yourself is just as
important as being a good friend to others.
