What is The Shy Ostrich about?

Ostrich is the shyest animal in the jungle and would rather hide than speak up. When mischievous Monkey causes trouble, Ostrich finds a clever way to stop him, but she is too bashful to tell anyone what she has done. Soon, the animals throw a surprise party to thank their quiet hero. Can Ostrich overcome her embarrassment and accept their praise? This gentle, funny story celebrates courage, kindness and the surprising things that can happen when someone finds their voice.
