The Turtle Who Tried Just a Bit: A gentle social emotional book for children (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798294771300)

Tara the Turtle loves her shell.

It's warm. It's safe. It's just right for her.

But sometimes, safe feels... lonely. And a little bit boring.

Tara wishes she could laugh with the other animals, but every time she tries, the twisty, wriggly feeling in her tummy grows too big. Until one day, Tara realises she doesn't have to wait for the worry to go away-she can bring it with her.

Because you can feel worried and brave at the same time. And even the tiniest step is something to be proud of.
