The book was eventually sold as a collection with the other 3 books as Trolls: Tales from Troll Village.

## Summary

Biggie thinks he has to change himself after comments from his friends cause him to doubt himself.

## Plot

Biggie invites Branch for cupcakes, knowing that Branch still has a lot of socializing to do. Branch notices all the photos of Mr. Dinkles, to which Biggie states that he wants to put them all in an album.

When Biggie goes to get the cupcakes, Branch tries to sit down on a chair, but can't find it in the mountain of Mr. Dinkles photos and slips, sending them everywhere. This makes him have a grumble, so Biggie gives him a hug. Unfortunately, the event doesn't impress Branch, and he heads back to his bunker where he's safe. Biggie was hoping that their meeting would be cupcakes and rainbows, but instead this has caused him to question if he has far too many photos of Mr. Dinkles.

He tries to clear them up before his next quest arrives, but DJ Suki and Cooper arrive soon after. Cooper and DJ between them point that out of all the Trolls in the village, Biggie is the one who cries happy tears the most, leading him to now start questioning if he is indeed the one who cries the most. Their conversation upsets him, and he goes to Satin and Chenille to pick up his new jacket from them for Mr. Dinkles. However, things aren't too great when he arrives; the two are lost in their work and when he asks for his Jacket, they comment that he can't leave his pod without his worm. This also upsets Biggie.

His friends remark that his character causes him to doubt himself, and perhaps he does take too many photos of Mr. Dinkles, cries too much and depends a lot on Mr. Dinkles. So he visits Cybil. Cybil's vague advice gives him the idea to decide he must change himself. He later goes to Poppy's pod, where he refuses to take part in her Bedazzling session, also changing his tone of voice. He leaves Mr. Dinkles with her to go on a journey of self-discovery.

When he goes back to his pod, he puts all the photos away and fixes on a new hobby. He tries to garden with Karma. As he helps her, he keeps getting reminders of Mr. Dinkles. When Biggie's distraction leads him to cut off the top of her hair, she tells him that maybe he should try something else.

He turns to Branch, whom he asks for help safety proofing his pod. This quickly ends when he thinks that Branch may not offer the best offer. He then turns to Aspen Heitz, who offers a play with extreme sports. At first things go alright until Biggie falls over, and Aspen suggests extreme sports isn't for him. Next, he meets Smidge, who's doing her workout routine. He completely fails even the basics of a workout, and Smidge's workout music isn't helping.

All this causes Biggie to want to cry sad tears instead of his usual happy ones. He's determined not to fail to change himself and become a new Troll. He heads back to his pod for cupcakes and forgets he crammed all the photos in his cupboard.

Seeing all the photos of Mr. Dinkles pouring out makes Biggie cry sad tears at last. When he looks outside, the village has gathered, including Maddy. Cooper also doesn't like Biggie crying sad tears. It turns out that none of the other Trolls knew what Mr. Dinkles wanted and had become confused on how to make him mew happily. Satin and Chenille states they will hold a fashion show for Mr. Dinkles, and Biggie can take all the photos he wants of his pet worm. Poppy ends up convincing Biggie that he's fine with the way he is.
