Synopsis

Emily loves to dance... but only when no one is watching.

Emily enjoys twirling and dancing with her favorite ribbon in the privacy of her room. But when her friend Becky invites her to perform in the school talent show, Emily is horrified. What if she forgets her routine? What if everyone laughs? The thought of standing in front of an audience makes her want to hide.

With a little encouragement and a lot of heart, Emily discovers that everyone feels nervous sometimes. She learns that courage doesn't mean never being embarrassed—it means finding the confidence to try anyway.
Filled with humor, heart, and interactive search-and-find illustrations, Emily Was SO Embarrassed is a delightful picture book that helps children understand that making mistakes is part of learning, growing, and believing in themselves.
