About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a major transition, such as a new school or a move, and feels overwhelmed by how different everything looks. This gentle story follows a young rabbit named Danny who steps out into his first snowfall. To his eyes, the world has changed into something unrecognizable and potentially scary, but he soon discovers that through the power of imagination and play, the unknown can become magical. It is an ideal pick for preschoolers and early elementary children who are naturally cautious. Leonid Gore's soft, textured illustrations provide a soothing atmosphere that encourages children to look at the unfamiliar with curiosity rather than fear. You might choose it to help validate your child's initial hesitation while modeling how to find beauty in change.
