About This Book
Reach for this book when your child struggles with the transition from independent play to collaborative cleanup, or when their natural leadership tendencies start to come across as overbearing to peers. It is a perfect choice for the child who wants things 'just so' but finds themselves overwhelmed by the chaos of a group setting. The story follows Bossy Bunny, who loves to lead but must learn that being a boss is different from being a leader. Through a relatable classroom disaster involving a massive mess, the book explores themes of teamwork, managing frustration, and the power of a sincere apology. Written for the 5-8 age range, it provides a gentle roadmap for children to navigate social friction without feeling like the villain of the story.

The book is entirely secular and safe. It touches on feelings of shame and social isolation in a metaphorical way through the bunny characters. The resolution is realistic: the mess is cleaned, and friendships are restored through effort and communication.
