Taya the Tortoise Comes Out of Her Shell: A Story to Help Kids who Retreat, Disconnect or Bottle Up - Paperback

Do you ever feel like the world is just a bit too much? Like you want to curl up in your shell and disappear for a while? Taya feels a similar way.

Taya has lived through a lot of hurtful twists and turns, and she uses her shell and her big imagination to protect herself—locking herself away from the outside world.

Luckily, Taya has a bunch of super-cool friends, including a camel who loves to paint and a hyena who's always up for a giggle. Together, they help her learn about big feelings and those days when you just want to shout, “No!” to everything.

With the help of her friends, her spidey senses, and some clever skills, Taya discovers that it's okay to take things slow—and that even she can find her sparkle again.

This book is a treasure map for children aged 5 to 10, helping young readers feel braver, happier, and a little bit more themselves.
