My older daughter use to work at a daycare and she signed up to receive free kids books with the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Yesterday I received June’s book.
The Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld
The Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld is a children's picture book about empathy, grief, and the power of simply listening, not offering solutions. When Taylor's block tower is destroyed, various animals offer advice (talk, shout, laugh), but none help until a rabbit quietly sits with Taylor, listens to their feelings, and waits until Taylor is ready to talk about rebuilding. The book teaches that sometimes the best way to comfort someone is to just be present and listen.
I can put I to words how this book made me feel.
Not only do I feel you should have this book for your kids but I think it’s great for all ages even as an adult.
Add it to your collection, if you don’t have the means to I will post the flyer for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.
And if you still don’t get it reach out to me and I’ll get it for your home!
