A wise and beautiful picture book that explores with gentle warmth and humor, the nature of feelings and the importance of being heard, perfect for fans of The Rabbit Listened.

Billy was having a sad day. His mind was jumping from one thought to another and his tummy felt like scrambled eggs with extra chili. He thought that talking about it might make him feel better, but his best friend, Hippo, had a few other ideas.

Dressing up always made Hippo feel better, so it must make Billy feel better too! When that doesn't work, Hippo tries everything from hunting for dinosaur footprints to building the world's largest sandcastle to throwing the best party.

Hippo is so wrapped up in what makes him feel better that he doesn't realize that Billy may need something different and something as simple as a friend to talk to. So, Hippo sets up a cozy corner with hot chocolate and extra marshmallows and gives Billy the space to talk about all his feelings until the sadness becomes more of a distant echo.

Australian author-illustrator Gabriel Evans has created a beautiful picture book that is perfect for fans of The Rabbit Listened and encourages readers both to process their feelings in ways that are most comfortable for them and that being a good friend can be as easy as listening.
