About the Book



Meet Fussy Fusserpants - a little girl who turns every "yes" into "no" and every "blue" into "red"... until she discovers that being friendly beats being fussy!

Meet our spirited protagonist, who lives up to her name Fussy Fusserpants in every way possible. If Mom picks blue, she wants red - until Mom agrees, then only blue will do! When spaghetti's for dinner, she insists on macaroni. Even playdates become a carousel of changing demands, leaving her friends puzzled and tired of her contrary ways.

But everything changes when a tiny caterpillar crawls into Fussy's world. This unexpected visitor shows her the simple joy of contentment, teaching her that happiness doesn't need to be complicated. Through this small creature's peaceful presence, Fussy begins to see the world differently, discovering that giggles are more fun than whines.

Will Fussy learn to embrace friendship over fussiness? This heartwarming tale shows young readers how letting go of contrary behavior can open doors to wonderful new friendships. With charming illustrations and gentle humor, this story reminds us that sometimes the best lessons come from the smallest teachers - even a leaf-munching caterpillar!
