" Are you good at doing something special?
Maybe you have a singing or drawing talent.
Or perhaps you're an excellent dancer?
Having a unique talent is amazing, and is one thing that makes you, you.
But have you ever felt scared to show other people your talent, or have been afraid that you might make a mistake?
Let me tell you a story about Sophia the Mouse."

Little Sophia is forever being teased by the other mice at school because of her ears. She hides them under a big hat, and cries every night at home. The only things that make her feel better are her best friend, Bella, and singing, which is her passion. When her school hosts a talent show, Bella encourages Sophia to enter, but Sophia is far too shy to show the world her hidden talent. Will a magic wish give her the confidence to overcome her shyness and show her classmates that there is more to her than her appearance?

Shy Sophia is a delightful story of how, with a little confidence, we can demonstrate our individual skills and gain respect even from people who used to tease or bully us, teaching children that we each have unique gifts and talents and that we shouldn't judge others by their appearances.
