A pinecone? A football? A very unusual hill?
Pippin has heard every guess. He has a name, a story, and something to say... as soon as everyone gives him a little room.
When the forest keeps mistaking a shy little pangolin for something he is not, Pippin curls up, waits, and wonders if anyone will ever really look. Then one small friend does what the others forgot to do: listen.
I Am Not a Pinecone is a warm, funny picture book about shyness, patience, and friendship-perfect for children who need a little space before they speak, and for the grown-ups who want to help them feel seen.
Ideal for bedtime, classroom read-alouds, and social-emotional learning. Ages 3-8.
A surprising animal. A story to share.
