Imagine a world where your very existence depends on fitting into a perfect shape—now imagine what happens when you just can’t.
In a world where everyone is a unique shape, Blobbo is just a simple, round blob. Like all blobs, he’s expected to "shape up" and fit in. But as he tries to mold himself to match the intricate forms of those around him—especially his parents—he begins to feel like he's losing a piece of himself with every twist and turn.
Shaping Blobbo is an enchanting tale of self-discovery and the quiet rebellion that sometimes comes from listening to your own heart, and being honest with your feelings. As Blobbo navigates the pressures to conform, he begins to wonder if there’s more to life than just fitting in. What if the shape he’s meant to be doesn’t match the expectations of those he loves? What if being true to himself means stepping away from everything he’s ever known?This story is more than just a journey for Blobbo—it’s a mirror for both children and parents. It gently explores the challenges of growing up, the struggle to be accepted, and the sometimes painful reality of letting go. It’s a book that speaks to the hearts of those who’ve ever felt the pressure to conform and to parents who strive to support their children without losing themselves in the process.
Perfect for readers young and old, Blobbo’s Journey is a heartfelt story about identity, individuality, and the complex bonds between parents and children. Join Blobbo as he shapes his own destiny and learns that sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is be yourself.
