Katy the Kitty Feels Shy – Christian Emotional Wellbeing Resource

INSTANT DOWNLOAD

A gentle, faith-filled emotional wellbeing resource that helps children understand shyness, courage, and God’s comforting presence — with a free Professional Companion Guide.

Katy the Kitty Feels Shy is a tender, beautifully illustrated resource designed to help children understand shyness and build the quiet courage they need to try new things. Through Katy’s gentle journey, children learn that shyness is normal, their feelings matter, and God meets them with kindness, patience, and strength.

This resource helps children notice what shyness feels like in their bodies, recognise their emotional needs, and take brave steps at their own pace — anchored in secure identity and God’s presence.

Perfect for ages 3–8, especially shy, sensitive, anxious, or neurodivergent children, and ideal for homes, schools, counselling, and children’s ministry.

• It’s safe to take time to warm up

• Small brave steps are still brave
