About This Book
Reach for this book when your family is in the 'waiting room' of life, specifically during the months leading up to the birth or adoption of a new sibling. This story helps bridge the gap between a child's current reality and the abstract concept of a new family member by grounding the experience in the changing seasons and the passage of time. Through the eyes of a cozy bunny family, the narrative explores the 'chaotic and cozy' reality of preparing for a baby. It normalizes the long wait and the varying emotions that come with it, from quiet dreaming to high-energy anticipation. Ideal for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-6), it provides a gentle, low-stakes environment to discuss how your own family's rhythm might change when your own 'Little Junie' arrives.
