The Shy Little Monster

Illustrator Sarah Pilar Echeverria and Stephanie are friends (they were born on the same day, in the same hospital, but became friends much later!) who bonded over their love of creating. Sarah is a mom of two with a lifelong passion for art and an everlasting love for children’s books. She hopes her own illustrations can spark excitement and creativity in kids. 

This book shows kids that it’s okay to be shy (so are Stephanie and Sarah!), it’s okay to ask for help and, most importantly, good friends are always there to offer some encouragement and help you find your voice. 

This book includes a PDF version of the book, The Shy Little Monster, in English and in Spanish, and a link to an interactive bilingual digital flipbook with sound and colorful illustrations. Move seamlessly between English and Spanish to explore this story in both languages!
