Some feelings giggle. Some feelings glow.
Tilly Tumbleflip catches them all - from her creaky-squeaky treehouse high above the clouds, where snack-vines bloom popcorn and the wallpaper hums when no one's looking.
Every feeling felt from freckle to toe becomes a Falling Star for her jar. Fill it up, and her biggest dream comes true.
But when Tickletown can't stop laughing, Tilly discovers that not all smiles are the same.
Every child has a Maybe.
A dream they whisper to themselves at night. A hope they haven't told anyone yet. Something they want so badly but aren't sure will ever come true.
This book is for them.
In Tilly Tumbleflip and the Big Bright Maybe: A Story About Optimism: Hopeful and Eager, Tilly picks up something that breaks her heart a little. A star that isn't falling. It's fading. Somewhere out there, a dream is quietly giving up.
She can't let that happen.
At the Market of Marvelous Things, Tilly Tumbleflip wants to see everything.
Then one witch holds the bustling market still inside an enormous bubble, while another keeps adding tassels, patterns, and threads to a carpet that may already be finished.
With two witches, one lopsided flying carpet, and two quiet feelings waiting to be named, Tilly discovers that sometimes the most marvelous thing is knowing when a moment, or something you have made, feels exactly enough.
