A simple spelling lesson leads to a life-changing moment for Poppy in this sweet picture book that normalizes queerness and finding one's voice, for fans of Love, Violet and Pink Is for Boys.

Every morning, Poppy wakes up eager to go to school. It's where she plays house, colors with her class, and learns from her teacher, Ms. Merriwick. Best of all, it's where Poppy sees Ava, who has big, bouncy curls and pencils to share. But when one spelling lesson about words beginning with the letter Q leaves Poppy confused and disappointed, she turns to her teacher for answers.

This heartwarming school story follows Poppy as she navigates her big feelings and discovers the power in asking questions. Bright, colorful artwork brings to life this impactful picture book about imagination, acceptance, and the importance of representation.
