About this story

Bunny is having a wonderful morning, stacking colorful blocks into a tower that grows taller and taller, click by satisfying click. Then — CRASH! The blocks tumble everywhere, and with them comes a heavy, sad feeling: drooping ears, slumped shoulders, eyes filling with tears, everything feeling overwhelming. But Bunny remembers something special: his soft, cozy comfort pillow. He hugs it tight, takes a slow deep breath in through his nose and out through his mouth, and waits — patience means waiting until you feel ready. Then he whispers three brave words: 'I can try again.' A tiny smile starts at the corners of his mouth, hope sparkles, and Bunny builds his tower one more time. A gentle, complete lesson in emotional regulation for the youngest readers.

  • Overwhelming — when feelings get too big to hold
  • Comfort — something soft and safe that makes you feel better
  • Breath — slow air in through the nose, out through the mouth
  • Calm — quiet and steady inside
  • Patience — waiting until you feel ready
  • Courage — being brave enough to try again
  • Hope — believing next time can be better
  • Ready — feeling calm enough to begin again

What Parents Say

Families sharing their experiences with our books and family safety tools.

After reading this, my daughter started asking about how lighthouses work and we ended up looking up videos together. Anything that gets her that curious is a win in my book.
Priya K.Book · The Lighthouse of Bright Minds
The rhythm of this book is so soothing. It's become our Sunday-morning read. The river metaphor opened up a real conversation about listening to nature with my kids.
Sofia L.Book · The Day We Listened to the River
A beautiful, quiet story. On high-energy days my 6-year-old can't sit through it, but on calm evenings it's perfect. The language is genuinely lovely.
