Description
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 surgery. After a typical week of quiet deference to everyone around her, Verity is miserable.
But when she is overlooked at swimming class (her most favourite thing of all), Verity realises 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.
