Description

Violet Shrink is a story about a young girl who struggles with social anxiety and finds it hard to cope with family gatherings. She would much rather spend time alone, watching birds or listening to music. The problem is that the whole Shrink family loves parties with loud music and games, which makes Violet's tummy ache and her hands sweat. When she learns that a big family reunion is approaching, Violet musters up the courage to talk to her dad about how she feels. This thoughtful story explores the role of imagination in helping children deal with anxiety, and the power of expressing feelings to a parent who listens. The illustrations perfectly capture Violet's emotions and the vibrancy of her imagination.
