Want me to play?
Call on me in class?
I say nothing and hope no one will see me. I call that playing possum. It's my way of being shy.

Review quote
"Shy kids will empathize with Blossom and perhaps her experiences will help them be open to new opportunities as well." --Mom's Radius
"Unreservedly recommended for children ages 4 to 8 and will prove to be an enduringly popular and appreciated addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections." --Midwest Book Review
"This lovable possum will help kids talk about their own fears and anxieties and show them there is nothing wrong with being shy or making mistakes. Janet McDonnell's delightful and whimsical illustrations add a flare of drama and humor to the story as she shows Blossom playing possum -- hanging upside down on the monkey bars or lying on her back with mouth wide open and all four limbs stiff in the air." --Children's Books Heal
