Yuri the Yeti – A Gentle Story About Quiet Strength and Being Yourself, Paperback Book

❄️ When Quiet Feels Different

Some children move through the world softly.
They notice more.
They feel deeply.
They listen before they speak.

And sometimes… they wonder if they belong.

Yuri the Yeti is a gentle, reassuring social-emotional learning (SEL) story that helps children understand self-acceptance, presence, and the quiet strength within themselves.

🏔️ Meet Yuri

High in the snowy mountains lives Yuri, a quiet young Yeti who listens more than he speaks.

While others stomp, roar, and rush through their days…
Yuri notices the small things.

The whisper of the wind.
The shifting snow.
The quiet signals others miss.

But being different can feel confusing.

💛 Why am I not like the others?

With guidance from Avery, a wise snow owl, Yuri begins to discover something powerful:

✨ Strength does not need to be loud
