With its spare, poignant text and irresistibly sweet illustrations, The Rabbit Listened is a tender meditation on loss. When something terrible happens, Taylor doesn't know where to turn. All the animals are sure they have the answer. The chicken wants to talk it out, but Taylor doesn't feel like chatting. The bear thinks Taylor should get angry, but that's not quite right either. One by one, the animals try to tell Taylor how to process this loss, and one by one they fail. Then the rabbit arrives. All the rabbit does is listen, which is just what Taylor needs. Whether read in the wake of tragedy or as a primer for comforting others, this is a deeply moving and unforgettable story sure to soothe heartache of all sizes.

Absolutely the best kids' book...but not just for kids

9 October 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Buy this book immediately. I don't care how old you are. This is the best book I've read in years. It demonstrates so much using simple, straightforward language and evocative illustrations. I have recommended it to everyone from the elementary school librarian to my friend who is a marriage therapist. As an English teacher, I could design a curriculum around this book. My husband cried when he read it. It's about being the kind of friend everyone needs. It's about the stages of grief. It's about hope and synergy and steadfast listening. It's time. Buy now with 1-click and thank me later.

Where has this perfect book BEEN?!

This book is both simple and profound. All three of my kids (7, 6 & 4) immediately -& verbally- identified with the emotions and reactions. I did too! (apparently I’m the hyena, btw 😬...)
The message of loss can be interpreted at any depth. I honestly have an adult in mind to buy this for.
It’s beautiful, sincere, and perfectly done.

A tender story of compassion.

This story really touched me. Sometimes as adults, teachers forget that what seems little to us, is a big deal to a child. As Taylor grieves over the loss of his tower, the animals all come and tell him what to do to make things better. Something that as adults we have a tendency to do. When Taylor doesn't respond to any of the animals, they leave. Until the rabbit shows up and just sits quietly next to him. Eventually, Taylor reaches out to the rabbit and does all the things the other animals suggested to him. The rabbit listens quietly until Taylor reaches the point where he is ready to rebuild his tower. I plan to use this book with my kindergartners when I talk to them about listening and the value of empathy. It's also a powerful reminder to me to be empathetic myself. An adorable book with a powerful lesson.

Truth Be Told

A social emotional lesson for kids and adults!

As a Psychologist who works with childen, and a parent, I highly recommend this story! It offers a wonderful, relatable story to kiddos, as well as a chance to notice and label the characters' feelings. It is also a gentle reminder that when things are tough, what we all need is someone to be with us to give us space to feel and open up in our own time. Lovely! The illustrations are charming, too.
