Sophie and the wonderful picture ISBN: 9780575060210
Currey, Anna and Umansky, Kaye
Published by Gollancz, 1995

Little Sophie rabbit is too shy to stand up in front of assembled parents at the end of term assembly to explain about the lovely picture she and Graham frog have painted. But Graham promises to do the talking while Sophie holds the painting. She is still nervous, but on the day, it is Graham who finds he cannot speak, and it is Sophie who must make the explanation - which she finds she enjoys. Shy people often come to be quite good at performing, and Sophie's self- esteem makes great strides. Lovely colour-wash illustrations.
Age: 5+
