Do you ever feel like the world is just a bit too much? Like you want to curl up in your shell and disappear for a while? Taya feels a similar way.

Taya has lived through a lot of hurtful twists and turns, and she uses her shell and her big imagination to protect herself - locking herself away from the outside world. Luckily, Taya has a bunch of super-cool friends (including a camel who loves to paint and a hyena who's always up for a giggle) who help her to learn about big feelingsand those days when you just want to shout, "No!" to everything.  With the help of her friends, her spidey senses, and some clever skills, Taya discovers that it's okay to take things slow-and even she can find her sparkle again. 

This book is a treasure map for children aged 5-10 to help you to feel braver, happier, and a little bit more YOU - let's go exploring together!
