About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling overlooked or is struggling to find their voice within a group. It is perfect for children who have a hidden talent they are hesitant to share, or for those who need to see that sometimes the 'assistant' is actually the star of the show. The story centers on Monsieur Lapin, a magician whose magic starts to fail, and his rabbit, Houdini, who must step up to save the day when a trick goes hilariously wrong. Through a whimsical role-reversal where the rabbit takes charge and the magician becomes the animal, Meg McLaren explores themes of self-confidence, identity, and the courage it takes to lead. This is an excellent choice for children ages 4 to 8, offering a gentle nudge toward independence and the realization that everyone has a unique magic to contribute. It provides a comforting and humorous way to discuss what happens when we step into the spotlight and take responsibility.
