    About the Book

    Squashed by Meghan Tosi: Book Cover

    Squashed

    Written and Illustrated by Meaghan Tosi

    Based on a Story by Thomas Tosi

    Ages 6-12 | 80 Pages

    Publisher: Dooney Press | ISBN-13: 9781954782051

    Publisher’s Book Summary: Aah! Dude! It moved!

    Can the mysterious shuddering pumpkin the three kids found in the forest be alive? They’re going to find out when they lift it from its resting place and carry it home. But what happens if someone or something comes looking for it?

    This evocative graphic novel is spooky yet ultimately gentle and charming. It presents a tale of unfounded fear of those who are different and the similarities we all share. Told in richly stylized full-color artwork from illustrator Meaghan Tosi whose previous work Kirkus Reviews praised as delightful.
