Hi, I'm Lolly! 💜 The squishy who helps kids feel brave.

Squish, squeeze, pop back up!

Lolly is a purple squishy who's scared of being squeezed too hard. Then she meets Lilly, a girl with a wiggly tummy about her first day at a new school.

One gentle bedtime squeeze shows them both they can be brave.

"Lolly always pops back up, and so will you."
