Some children roar.

Some children hide.

And some children… cluck too much.

Rosie is a little pink frizzle chicken with a very big heart. She notices everything. Loud sounds feel extra loud. Big feelings feel extra big. And when worry starts bubbling inside her, it comes out in ways others don’t always understand.

But Rosie isn’t trying to misbehave.

She’s overwhelmed.

Rosie McClucken Clucks Too Much! is a heartfelt picture book that helps children feel seen, understood, and safe while gently opening conversations about anxiety, emotional regulation, empathy, and sensitive personalities.

With soft illustrations and a comforting story, Rosie reminds children that having big feelings does not make them “too much.”
