Willow and Bunny

Reach for this book when your child is processing a frightening event, a natural disaster, or a change in a caregiver's ability to provide support. It is an essential choice for families looking to discuss how relationships evolve through seasons of hardship and healing. The story follows Willow, a protective tree, and Bunny, the friend she shelters, through a devastating storm that leaves Willow damaged. It masterfully illustrates that while we often rely on others for strength, there are times when we must become the pillars of support for those we love. For children ages 4 to 8, this book provides a gentle, metaphorical framework for understanding resilience and the beauty of mutual care. It is particularly helpful for children who feel helpless when they see a loved one or their environment in distress, offering a quiet roadmap for how to give back.
