Children's book about resilience



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

my very talented husband has written and illustrated a children's picture book which addresses the very serious topic of bullying in a colourful, humorous way.

The main character, Square Peg, doesn't fit in her round world at all, and is excluded by her peers. Rather than play the victim, she uses her most powerful tool available to her - her resilience - to great success.

We are trying to get this book published through Kickstarter - so are seeking preorders of the book to fund the printing.

Please check out the link and support our project if you can - we believe this is a very worthwhile issue to be writing about and would love to get it out there into the wider community.

Square Peg has a Facebook Page too! With illustrations and more information!

Thank you! I believe it is excellent too!! We hope it will really help children learn resilience, something that is sadly lacking in our society right now.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
