For the child who feels everything... all the way.
Poppy is a pufferfish whose feelings come fast and big.
When the ocean is warm, her happiness spins her in loop-de-loops. But when something feels like too much - fwump! Poppy puffs up huge and sharp, floating up and up toward the surface.
Then Poppy meets Barnaby, a little fish who hides in a cave and snaps at anyone who comes close. And just before she puffs up again... she pauses.
What if a feeling could be big without being sharp?
A picture book about big feelings, kindness, and the quiet power of softness - for children who feel deeply - and the grown-ups who love them.
Perfect for:
- Bedtime read-alouds with children ages 4-8
- Parents and teachers helping children name big emotions
- Highly sensitive children, neurodivergent readers, and any child learning to navigate overwhelming feelings
- Gifts for kids who lead with their hearts
Part of the Different Mind, Different Magic(TM) series - stories that celebrate the many ways a mind can shine.
