“A gentle story that offers support and may help allay some fears.” – Kirkus Reviews
Suzie and Blush is a heartwarming picture book that follows Suzie, a young girl who loves to sing, dance, read, and dream, but prefers to do all these things alone. When she feels others watching her, Blush, her personification of embarrassment, appears. Despite her efforts to hide it, Blush interferes with her life, especially at school, where even a simple question from the teacher can make her cheeks glow. This captivating story, suitable for children aged 5 years and up, delves into themes of embarrassment, self-confidence, and overcoming insecurities. Through Suzie’s journey, readers witness her struggle with managing her emotions and the ‘blush’ that holds her back. As Suzie learns to confront her fears, the illustrations cleverly depict the shrinking presence of her blush, making it easier for children to grasp this abstract concept. With its relatable narrative and engaging artwork, Suzie and Blush not only entertains but also educates young readers about managing emotions and building self-confidence. It’s a must-read for children navigating similar feelings and learning to embrace themselves fully.
A must-read about navigating emotions and building self-confidence. For children aged 5 years and up.
