Brief description: Dr White is a clinical psychologist with many years of experience working with children. One of his interests has been in helping children who lack confidence to do things they can do, but worry they will not succeed. This book is intended as a story about young clams who strive to overcome their shyness and quiet reticence, and succeed in doing so. Inspired by the imaginative stories written by his son, Connor White, and daughter-in-law, Annabeth Bondor Stone, this is Dr White's first children's book. When he isn't working, he enjoys playing the piano (when no one is listening!) and visiting his grandchildren (7, 5, 1), whose namesakes are those of the clams in this book.
