Someone special once told me that dogs are “hearts covered in fluff."

I didn't understand what that meant but it stuck with me. And then Daphne came into my life.

When Daphne arrived, everything slowed down. She never tried to make me laugh, fix anything or cheer me up. She just stayed close. And somehow, that helped.

Her presence created time and space to start noticing things I hadn't before. I realized that feelings of every kind deserve to be seen. Not solved. Just seen.

That's what these stories are about.

The Feelings with a Fluffy Heart stories are learnings from Daphne about how to sit with hard feelings instead of rushing past them.

Each story uses plain language to show kids and grown-ups that their feelings make sense, even the hard ones.
