Cornered!: A story about Bullying starring Sheldon the turtle

By Mike Perko

A heartwarming story about standing out, standing tall, and the courage it takes to be yourself.

Sheldon the Turtle has never quite fit in. His shell isn't round like the others-it's square. And in the woods where "different" doesn't always feel safe, Sheldon faces teasing and loneliness every day. But when a group of woodland creatures rally around him, Sheldon discovers that kindness, courage, and true friendship can transform not just how others see you-but how you see yourself.

Inspired by the classic tale The Ugly Duckling, this uplifting story teaches children the power of embracing differences, standing up to bullies, and staying true to who you are.
