Book & Mr Rogers episode recommendations for a shy 4 year old? (lemmy.world)

My 4 year old son is quite shy -- he is often afraid of kids at the playground and only engages in parallel play occasionally.

Can anyone recommend any picture books or Mr Rogers / Sesame Street episodes on interacting with other kids? I think that he needs examples of the skills required to talk with other kids, as well as examples of shy kids having fun with other kids.

As a side question, I don't understand how lemmy works. How do I see the c/parenting groups on all of the other lemmy servers?

That's a good idea for exposure to other kids, but he is already in preschool, which is a sort of playgroup. Too young for overnight camp.
