Meet Stiggy: he loves mud, hates baths, and just wants a hug. What could go wrong?
Stiggy is a chubby Stegosaurus with a bony back, a big heart, and a serious aversion to water. Stiggy loves hugs, mud puddles, and playtime, but he does not like baths. As days go by and Stiggy refuses to wash, something starts to happen… he gets stinky. Really, really, REALLY stinky.
Soon, no one wants to come near him, not even for a hug. Teased and lonely, Stiggy learns in the most unexpected way that self-care helps us feel loved, connected, and part of the group.
