Baa Haa

Everything makes Babette laugh, until she discovers it's okay not to feel okay sometimes. This laugh-out-loud gem about friendship, big feelings, and learning to show your true self is perfect for fans of Grumpy Monkey and The Day the Crayons Quit.

"A chuckle-worthy reminder that kids needn't feel sheepish for showing their vulnerable sides." -- Kirkus Reviews

Babette's life is filled with joy.

She loves to giggle and be silly.

And she loves to make her friends laugh, too.

But Babette also laughs when nothing is funny.

Like when she feels sad or mad or bad.

Hiding her true feelings is tangling her insides into a knot

and giving her a bellyache!

Is acting happy all the time everything it's cracked up to be?

Will Babette's friends still like her if she doesn't pretend?
