The Rabbit Listened By Cori Doerrfeld I don’t know how this precious picture book passed me by. It was published in 2018 but just came on my radar when I read a recent email from Colby Sharp, (teacher and children’s book lover). The text and the story are simple. The illustrations are both dear and expressive. Taylor proudly spends a lot of time building something which out of nowhere is destroyed. Taylor’s animal friends try to console Taylor with their ideas of how to solve the problem. But it is rabbit who delivers the most important message of all that helps Taylor move through his disappointment. The rabbit listens in silence as Taylor moves through his upset and is ready, “to build again,” and exclaim, “Its going to be amazing.” Parents and educators will want to pull this book out again and again as their young ones experience exactly what Taylor has. We can all learn from this book and use it from preschool through elementary school age children.
