Square Feels Squished - A Silly Shape Adventure
Square is strong and steady with four perfect sides... but today something feels wrong. In the middle of a busy crowd, Square feels trapped, squeezed, and squashed. He doesn't know how to explain it-until his friends help him discover the power of naming feelings out loud.
Through playful rhymes, gentle humour, and bright characters, Square Feels Squished shows children that everyone has emotions, and sharing them makes us feel lighter and stronger.
This heart-warming tale is part of the Silly Shapes Learning Series, a collection of fun, rhyming picture books designed to blend shape recognition with social-emotional learning (SEL). Each story gives children an exciting adventure with a gentle life lesson that helps them grow both academically and emotionally.
