About this ebook
One small mistake and suddenly Lina wishes she could disappear. During art class, a bottle tips over, paint spills across the table, and a few children laugh. Lina's face burns with embarrassment. She wants to look away, become invisible, and make the moment disappear. But the feeling stays. Soon, Lina begins to understand that what she is experiencing has a name: shame. With the support of her family, friends, and the Tree Detectives, Lina starts to explore what happens inside her when she makes a mistake. Why does shame make her feel small? Why does the voice in her head become so harsh? And how can she stay brave when all she wants to do is hide? Step by step, Lina discovers practical ways to cope with shame, learn from mistakes, build self-confidence, and strengthen her self-esteem. She learns about her inner critic, creates a powerful stop phrase, and begins to see mistakes not as proof that something is wrong with her, but as learning steps that help her grow. Instead of running away, she learns how to repair, speak up, and try again. Shame Is Not My Boss is a warm and encouraging children's book about emotional resilience, self-acceptance, courage, friendship, and overcoming embarrassment. It gently supports children who struggle with fear of failure, negative self-talk, low confidence, or the pressure to be perfect.

Mit einem feinen Gespür für Atmosphäre, Spannung und die innere Welt seiner Figuren schreibt er Geschichten, die unter die Oberfläche gehen, Geschichten, in denen Mut leise ist, Wahrheit manchmal unbequem und das Entscheidende oft dort wartet, wo man zuerst nicht hinschaut.
