Most children's books about feelings end with the feeling going away.

The scared child becomes brave. The sad child cheers up. The angry child calms down.

Fluffy Heart stories don't do that.

These books show kids that feelings don't need to be fixed. They just need to be felt.

We start with feelings, not problems

The stories begin with an emotion—nervousness, embarrassment, jealousy, fear. Not with a situation that needs solving.

We don't fix feelings

The stories end with feelings still there. The embarrassed child still feels embarrassed. The excluded child still wishes they'd been picked.

Daphne provides presence, not solutions

Daphne doesn't teach lessons or explain feelings. She notices distress, walks over, and stays.

Feelings can coexist

Characters often hold two feelings at once: happy for a friend and sad for themselves. Scared and brave. Excited and nervous.

Adults are learning too

Adults in our stories make mistakes. They get overwhelmed. Sometimes they apologize and repair.
