Young Jack is too nervous to face up to Santa at the mall, but when he hides behind a curtain, he discovers that he is not the only person feeling anxious about Christmas.
This is a great book for students who are shy and don't like to talk to people. It shows them that even people youh think would not be shy at all can often to be very nervous to talk to people. I would use this at the beginning of the school year to show that it's ok to be a little afraid to speak up.
