What do you do when you just want to disappear?
Luella Bean has been picked to sing a solo at the summer show. It's her big moment - a whole stage, a whole audience, just for her song.
But she has one problem: she really, really doesn't want everyone LOOKING at her.
That's when the Hideaway appears - a soft little blanket-creature whose only idea is to cover Luella up and keep her safely out of sight. And the more nervous she gets, the bigger it grows... until she's standing on stage, every word of her song forgotten, her cheeks burning, with the Hideaway throwing itself over her like a curtain. Hide, it begs. Disappear!
But the bravest thing isn't to hide. It's to stand tall and let yourself be seen - and watch a hiding-blanket become a hero's cape.
A funny, heartfelt story that teaches a real skill:
Embarrassment is one of the most powerful feelings a child can have - and the urge it brings, to hide and never try again, is exactly what makes it grow. This book gives children a gentle way to face it: everybody has an oops, the spotlight fades fast, and the part of you that wants to hide can become the part that's brave. I can let them see me.
Perfect for:
- Children ages 3 to 8 who feel shy, self-conscious, or easily embarrassed
- Stage fright, performances, speaking up, and I want to disappear moments
- Building confidence and healthy risk-taking
- Parents, teachers, and counselors teaching emotional regulation
- Fans of feelings books like The Color Monster and the Big Bright Feelings books
Includes a note for grown-ups on helping children through embarrassing moments and building the courage to be seen.
Part of the Luella Bean's Imagination series - where a big imagination meets big feelings. One feeling you can see, one story at a time.
