Viola non è rossa

Viola is a shy and awkward little girl. Despite her name, her color is red—she blushes at the slightest thing: when people look at her, when the teacher questions her, when classmates tease her for being clumsy. But things change. One day, Viola befriends Nerina, a girl just as shy as she is. And she becomes more confident, because two shy girls are better than one.
A story about true friendship and overcoming one’s limits.

Themes: shyness, friendship, growth.
