Book Excerpt
Every Tuesday, Mom helps at school. She listens to Layla’s reading group as they read a book. Today they are reading a book about how to make cupcakes. The pictures of yummy cakes make Layla feel hungry.
One page in the book is about mud-cakes with tofu frosting. Layla is not sure she would like this cupcake. She doesn’t even know what tofu is. Maybe it is made of bugs. She pictures big, black bugs mixed into the frosting.
YUCK!
She quickly turns the page. The next page has her favorite – chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and sprinkles.
Ahhh, much better, thinks Layla.
YUM!
Baby Hannah has been eating a snack. When they finish reading, she crawls around the classroom saying ‘hiya’. That is how she says ‘hello’. She starts squealing when the kids smile at her. One of the girls tries to pick her up. She yells, ‘No! No!’
Hannah is getting very loud. Mom says it is time to go.
Before Mom leaves the classroom, she reminds Layla that Singing Club is today.
Layla says, ‘I have decided not to go.’
‘Why not?’ Mom asks.
‘I’m feeling shy,’ says Layla.
Mom says, ‘It’s OK to be shy. It can be scary to do new things. But if a safe person says it’s OK, you can still be brave too. Being brave is choosing to do something safe even when you’re feeling scared.’
