What if you were made… a little differently?

Shmoopie was supposed to be a teddy bear. But thanks to one distracted toy factory worker and a little too much fluff, he ended up shaped more like a beanbag than a bear. Shipped out anyway, Shmoopie bounces through mishaps, mockery, and a world that doesn’t quite know what to do with him.

Then along comes Lulu.

With a shining smile and arms made for hugging, Lulu sees something in Shmoopie that no one else has: a whole hug planet.

Join Shmoopie and Lulu on a cozy, comical journey of self-acceptance, love, and the softest kind of courage. Perfect for snuggle time, storytime, or anytime you need a reminder that being different just might be the best thing you could be.
