Floppy's Home

Bats just want friends too

Floppy, a friendly bat, lives in a grand house with a loving human family. He spends his evenings playing with the five children and enjoying the wonder of their home. After the family moves away, Floppy must learn to embrace each new chapter of his life as the house transforms into a school infirmary, an assisted living facility, and finally, a restaurant. Though it can be challenging, and sometimes lonely, he is able not only to find joy in life’s changes, but bring joy to the lives he touches.
