About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is struggling to name and manage big feelings like frustration or sadness, especially if those feelings are tied to feeling different from their peers. The story follows Luna, a creative bunny who loves to paint with vibrant rainbow colors, which makes her feel isolated from the other bunnies. With gentle guidance from her two loving dads and a wise friend, Luna learns to see her emotions as a beautiful palette of colors, each with its own purpose. This book is perfect for ages 3-7, offering a gentle, metaphorical way to talk about emotions and identity. It normalizes having big feelings and provides a wonderful model of family acceptance and the courage to be oneself.
