A Children's Book
Poppy cries. A lot. So much, in fact, that her bedroom is filled with puddles, her lunchbox overflows with salty tears, and kids at school call her “Poppy the Waterfall”. No one seems to hear her whispers of “I can’t”, and the sadness keeps pouring in. But one night, as she lies on her soggy pillow, something shifts. Poppy realises she doesn’t have to drift in an ocean of tears—she has a voice. And maybe, just maybe, her voice can change everything. A heartfelt story about courage, reslience, and finding strength in the most unexpected places, Poppy’s Soggy Pillow is a reminder that sometimes, standing up for yourself is the most powerful thing of all.
