What This Book Is
The Hidden Shapes of Bullying is a 30-day creative activity book designed for children aged 8–12 who have experienced bullying, whether at school, online, or in other settings.
Bullying can leave children feeling confused, hurt, unsafe, or alone. This book offers a calm, supportive space where children can explore their feelings, understand what has happened, and begin to reconnect with their sense of safety and self-worth through art.
With the steady presence of a caregiver, children are guided to express emotions, learn about boundaries, and strengthen their inner voice in ways that feel manageable and respectful.
What Your Child Will Explore
• 30 simple, creative art activities
• Safe ways to express feelings like fear, anger, sadness, and confusion

• Activities that support confidence, voice, and self-respect
• Reassurance that bullying is never their fault
All activities use basic art materials commonly available at home.
