The Narrator brought some freshly grown carrots from her garden for Pins and Nettie to try. But Pins and Nettie have never had carrots before. They tend to stick to food they know they enjoy, like strawberries. Neither of them is sure they want to even try the carrots. Lesson: It's okay if you try something new and end up not liking it. Pins and Nettie will explore the very real, very common situation of shyness amongst preschoolers and show that there is nothing wrong with being shy. It's just a different way of being and taking in the world around you.
