(2) K-3 The initially unseen Shy loves all books, especially books about birds. When a real bird flies by, introverted Shy follows. Finally, he makes contact with Florence, the bird, and the two friends bond over the words of a beloved story. Muted browns and yellows foreshadow the reveal of Shy's species, while translucent blues and whites let us know when Florence is near.
