Violet's Tempest by Ian Eagleton

Violet’s world has changed. Her voice has gone from a giggle to a whisper. So when her teacher casts her in the school play, she is filled with worry. How will she ever stand in front of a crowd and overcome her shyness? With the love and support of her family, Violet must find her inner confidence and turn that whisper into a roar!

This wonderful picture book by Ian Eagleton and illustrated by Clara Anganuzzi is a lovely story about Violet overcoming her shyness and stage fright. Dreading the school play, she turns to her Nan's encouraging words to break through her fright. This heart-warming tale of kindness and patience full of reassurance and for young children, a wonderful lyrical book for bedtime.
