The Rabbit Listened
by Cori Doerrfeld
When something big and upsetting happens, Taylor is left feeling adrift. Other animals rush in with well-meaning but ultimately unhelpful advice: talk it out, get angry, move on. Each suggestion misses the mark, leaving Taylor feeling more alone. Then, the rabbit arrives, and instead of offering solutions, it simply sits and listens. This gentle picture book is a quiet masterclass in empathy, showing how powerful it can be to just be present for someone in pain. The reading experience is deeply poignant and heartwarming, a reflective pause that reminds us of the profound comfort found in understanding, not fixing. It’s perfect for anyone seeking a tender way to explore big feelings, both for themselves and with the children in their lives.
