Shibu's Tail
A tale about a tail and a cat with some very big feelings.
Shibu's Tail by Tess Thomas tells the story of Shibu, a cat who uses his very demonstrative tail to express his feelings. However, when Shibu starts to feel a little judged by the other (not quite so expressive) cats, he faces the challenge of deciding for himself whether those big feelings are okay.
This picture book highlights the importance and joy of being yourself, encouraging readers to embrace their unique traits and express themselves openly.
