There's a Swimming Pool in My Desk! Hallie Sophie Chanan

We wrote this book to illustrate the way a teacher and a loving family can help a child overcome social phobia and low self-esteem. In addition, the main character, Benjy, is able to use his imagination to answer a teacher's question, create an affirming story, make friends, and ultimately step up to help a new friend. Readers will recognize Benjy's personality in either themselves or those they may know and gain confidence. Teachers may want to use this book in their classrooms as a learning tool and as a means of creating an "aha" moment for their students.
