Celebrating the Wonderful Energy of Childhood & Love in Our Fast Paced World. We Could All Learn a Lesson from Lolly Olly – to Take a Breath and Enjoy the Pause
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, September 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — He zooms. He wiggles. He dances. He makes messes. And sometimes, he simply refuses to slow down. But underneath all that wild, Honey Badger energy has a very big heart. Honey Badger Has a Heart, a colorful new children’s book launching September 1, 2026, introduces readers to Lolly Ollie, a spunky seven-year-old honey badger whose nonstop adventures bring laughter, chaos and plenty of personality everywhere he goes.
From climbing “Mount Couchemous” and racing down “Stairmorous” to sneaking sugary treats, bouncing balls, dancing to the beat and singing at the top of his lungs, Lolly Ollie lives life at full speed. And when the grown-ups try to slow him down? Honey Badger don’t care! But the story takes a meaningful turn when Lolly Ollie finally pauses.
In those quieter moments, readers discover the other side of the little honey badger — the child who hugs someone who is feeling low, snuggles with his family, buys his brother a gift, says “I love you,” and wants nothing more than to sleep close to his pack. Because Honey Badger does care. At its heart, Honey Badger Has a Heart is a story for every family raising a child who is energetic, adventurous, funny, impulsive, affectionate and completely themselves.
“Children can be loud, messy, hilarious and completely exhausting one minute — and unbelievably loving the next. This book celebrates both sides of that child. The adventures matter, but so do the pauses between them. That’s often where you see just how enormous their hearts really are,” says the author Brian Rawls-McQuillan.
With vibrant illustrations, playful language and a warm family-centered message, Honey Badger Has a Heart is designed to make children laugh while reminding parents and young readers that a child’s biggest personality traits can exist right alongside kindness, empathy and love.
The story culminates in a message intended to stay with children long after the final page:
“Honey Badger has a heart, and it shines in the pause and the space between the adventures. Wait for it, because his heart is bigger than the moon. Lolly Ollie has a heart. And so do you.” A Story Made for Kids — and the Grown Folks Who Love Them.
Set inside Lolly Ollie’s colorful world with his brother and family, Honey Badger Has a Heart combines contemporary humor with the warmth of a classic family story. The book explores a simple idea that many parents know well: children should not be defined only by the moments when they are loud, restless or pushing boundaries. Sometimes the clearest glimpse of who they are comes when everything gets quiet.
Honey Badger Has a Heart is available in three formats on Amazon.com – Kindle, paperback and hard cover.
