Farewell Floppy

A parent might reach for this book when their child is experiencing conflicting feelings about a beloved pet, perhaps feeling 'too old' for a toy or animal they've had since they were younger. The story follows a boy who, believing he has outgrown his rabbit Floppy, tries to abandon him in the woods. He is immediately overcome with regret and panic. The book powerfully explores shame, sadness, and the fear of loss, but ends with a reassuring and joyful reunion. For ages 5 to 8, it's an excellent tool to start conversations about making mistakes, listening to our true feelings, and the enduring nature of love.
