Miriam, a shy girl who always blushes, give her courage!
Miriam is a very shy child.
If someone calls his name, his face turns red like a tomato.
So the kids tease her by calling her Ugly Tomato instead of Miriam.
Miriam always knows the answer to the teacher's question, but her voice is stuck in her throat and she can't get it out.
Even if you manage to answer, it's so small that no one can hear you.
Even when the neighbor's child comes to play, Miriam is too shy to play with them and just stays in the corner.
Miriam wants to have fun with her friends, but no one wants to take her on, which makes her very sad.
But this much is okay.
It's bearable.

Tomorrow I have to go up to the blackboard and recite a poem, and I've never been more scared.
I couldn't sleep because I was so tormented by the tomato dream.
But I have to go to school.
Finally, class time! It's Miriam's turn to recite her poem.
My heart was pounding and my legs were shaking.
I can hear the children teasing me, calling me an ugly tomato.
The teacher sees this situation and scolds the children harshly.
Because of that, all the children's faces turned red like tomatoes.
Miriam, seeing that sight, began to recite the poem without realizing it.
Miriam, who successfully memorized the poem, feels happy and very proud.
From then on, Miriam's friends called her 'Singing Bird Miriam' and they got along well.


It is important to overcome shame on your own through your own will and effort!
It is said that if a child's personality of feeling shy is left untreated, they will often continue to feel shy as adults.
Although there may be differences in degree, in severe cases, many people experience difficulties in interpersonal relationships and social life.
If you don't like seeing your child embarrassed, constantly pushing and forcing a shy child to do things is likely to backfire.
In such cases, it is said that you should not scold or nag the child for mistakes while watching them so that they do not develop anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Also, we need a lot of consideration and help from those around us so that we can enjoy and accept as natural things, without feeling embarrassed, the need to socialize with other people, talk, or perform something in front of others.
There are many causes of feeling embarrassed, including genetics, attachment to parents, and constant teasing or ignoring from others.
Although the treatment and improvement methods will vary depending on the cause, what this book ultimately shows is that you must break out of your own shameful frame.
This book humorously and warmly tells us that while consideration, encouragement, and warm words from those around you can be very helpful, the most important thing is your own will and effort.
