Welcome to the Kingdom of GAD —a bright, bustling world where butterflies flutter, frogs sing, and joy fills the air. Polly the caterpillar loves her carefree days of laughter and play with her friend Baboon. But when she learns it’s time to enter her cocoon, her heart begins to race. What if she isn’t ready for what comes next? With patience, humor, and the loving support of her mother and Baboon, Polly begins to discover that even the bravest hearts can feel scared sometimes—and that growth often starts with a flutter. Written by licensed counselor Taylor Andrews, Polly’s Comfy Cocoon Journey is a lyrical, beautifully illustrated children’s picture book that helps kids—and the adults who love them—explore change, courage, mindfulness, and emotional resilience. Perfect for mindful families, classrooms, and counseling spaces that nurture emotional growth and self-compassion.
