Zoe is learning the delicate art of setting boundaries, even when it doesn’t feel great, while Penny is having a Contrary kind of day! Luckily, Spicy is there to offer Zoe encouragement and wisdom from her years as an early childhood educator.
Meanwhile, T.A. helps Penny navigate her big feelings with the story of Contrary Perry—a little platypus who turns a day of mischief into a lesson in empathy.
