A Waterstones Best Baby and Toddler Book of 2025

An uplifting book about tackling shyness, from the bestselling creator of the Big Bright Feelings series.

Be open, be honest, be you! Big Bright Feelings for little people.

Sammy Feels Shy is about a character named Sammy who LOVES having fun. However, at school, there are so many people, and he doesn't always know what to say. When a whole load of things goes wrong and Sammy feels like EVERYONE is staring, he starts to go pink, and then pinker... until he's bright pink ALL OVER! Can Sammy learn how to tackle his feelings – and go back to his usual colour?

This reassuring and funny book is the perfect springboard for talking to children about shyness and feeling self-conscious.

Tom Percival's Big Bright Feelings series is the ideal starting point for discussions about mental and emotional health, positive self-image, building self-confidence, and managing feelings. Every child's bookshelf should contain his books.

Also available in the Big Bright Feelings series: Ruby's Worry, Perfectly Norman, Ravi's Roar, Meesha Makes Friends, Tilda Tries Again, Milo's Monster, Finn’s Little Fibs and Bea's Bad Day. Collect them all!
