Poppy Louise Is Not Afraid of Anything

Poppy Louise Littleton is not afraid of anything . . . almost. Fans of Ladybug Girl and other girl-power heroines will fall in love with this spunky character!

Poppy Louise Littleton thinks vampires are cute and mummies are funny. She’s positive a tarantula would make a perfect pet. All her imaginary friends are monsters. Is there anything that will scare her? Her sister, Petunia, is determined to find out. . . .

In this inviting picture book, Jenna McCarthy brings us a new character who feels at once modern and timeless. Girls and boys will recognize themselves in Poppy Louise (and maybe sometimes in her sister, Petunia) and will gobble up Molly Idle’s deliciously cinematic spreads, which highlight the drama of Poppy Louise’s escapades.

JENNA MCCARTHY is a speaker, a former radio personality, and the internationally published author of several books for adults, a middle-grade fiction series (the Maggie Malone books), and now picture books! She collects hats, speaks really bad French, and is positive she’d be a tennis star if the net didn’t keep getting in the way. Jenna lives with her husband and two daughters in California.
