Julie Jamrock - The Invisible Squeeze: A Story About Belonging, Big Feelings, and Mixed-Up Messages - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A picture book about belonging, identity, and the courage to speak up.

When Julie hears that her parents “don’t match,” she feels a tight, confusing worry she can’t quite name. With care from her Jamaican–Irish family, she learns what truly makes a family fit: love, truth, and hearts that lean the same way. The Invisible Squeeze helps young readers recognize big feelings, find words for them, and practice empathy in real-life moments.

• Ages 6–8 • Ideal for read-alouds at home, school, or library
• Social-Emotional Learning • Names feelings, models honesty and repair
• Inclusive Representation • Dual-heritage family portrayed with warmth and nuance
• Back-matter Note • Gentle prompts for parents and educators to guide discussion

Use this book to start conversations about mixed heritage, unkind comments, friendship, and how love—plus a little bravery—helps the “invisible squeeze” around our hearts let go.
