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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
