The Scribble Shake
A Story About Big Feelings, Silly Scribbles, and Finding Your CalmWhat do you do when your body feels like it's buzzing, your feet won't stop moving, and your feelings are just too big to fit inside?
Meet Leo and his best friend, Static-a tiny blue scribble made of wiggles, wonder, and big emotions.
Most days, Static is calm and cozy. But when plans change, waiting feels impossible, or frustration starts to grow, Static grows too! Before long, he's bouncing off walls, making a mess, and turning into a tangled whirlwind of energy.
When a trip to the doctor turns into The Great Wait, Leo discovers something important: big feelings aren't bad, and they don't have to be pushed away. Instead of trying to stop the scribble, Leo learns how to help it move, breathe, create, and dance.
Filled with playful illustrations, movement-based calming strategies, and an unforgettable yarn-ball friend, The Scribble Shake helps children understand that feelings need healthy places to go-and that every big emotion can become something beautiful.
Perfect for:
Children ages 4-9
Parents and caregivers
Teachers and counselors
Kids who struggle with restlessness, waiting, frustration, or emotional regulation
Storytime, classrooms, therapy settings, and bedtime reading
Because you can't erase a scribble...
But you can always teach it how to dance.
