Posey Porcupine is embarrassed by her quills. She wants to be like the other forest animals. Through a series of unexpected events, along with some help from her friends, Posey learns to love and accept herself, quills and all.

“The Prickly Little Porcupine is a colorful and interesting book that celebrates differentness and friendship. Jill Horton’s story could help many young people gain more body-positive views, and the book could be used by librarians, teachers, and caregivers to help build self-esteem.” — Readers’ Favorite
