About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overshadowed by older siblings or peers and needs to know that their small size does not limit their value or capability. It is a gentle antidote to the frustration of being told you are too little to participate in the big kids' games. The story follows Oliver, a small bunny determined to win the annual strawberry contest despite the teasing of the larger rabbits. Through hard work and his mother's steady encouragement, Oliver finds his own way to shine. It is a perfect selection for children ages 3 to 7 who are navigating the transition from toddlerhood to more independent big kid activities. Parents will appreciate how the book balances the drive for independence with the comforting safety net of a caregiver's love. It celebrates the pride of a job well done while validating the child's need to still be their parent's little one at the end of the day.
