About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the 'green-eyed monster' of jealousy, particularly when a sibling, cousin, or friend seems to be effortlessly outshining them. Suki is a bunny who loves being the center of attention, but her world is upended when her cousin Mirabella arrives and captivates everyone with her many talents. This humorous story explores the complex feelings of losing one's status as the 'star' and the journey toward finding self-worth that isn't dependent on an audience. It is an excellent choice for children aged 3 to 7 who are navigating changing social dynamics or sibling rivalry, offering a gentle way to normalize feelings of being overlooked while celebrating individual identity.
