Emily Was SO Embarrassed
A Funny Story About Friendship, Fortitude, and Falling on Your Face
Emily has a big secret. She can dance, twirl, jump, and do all sorts of tricks with her ribbon. Just not in front of others… never in front of others. She might mess up, and everyone could laugh at her. It is best to dance alone in her room, where she is safe from embarrassment. But when her best friend Becky asks her to join the talent show, Emily panics. She doesn’t want to disappoint her friend, but is Emily ready to show off her talent and risk embarrassment?
