Hello, My Name is Bob

Reach for this book when your child feels overshadowed by a more outgoing sibling or friend, or if they have started calling themselves boring because they prefer quiet activities. It is an essential read for the child who enjoys observing rather than performing, providing much needed validation that being low energy is a personality type, not a social failure. The story follows Bob, a bear who loves sitting in empty parking lots and thinking quiet thoughts, and his best friend Jack, who is a whirlwind of color and movement. Through gentle humor, the book explores how these two opposites maintain a deep bond without either having to change who they are. It is a perfect choice for ages 3 to 7 to help normalize introversion and celebrate the quiet ways we show love and friendship.
