About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling discouraged by a mistake, or when they are particularly hard on themselves for being forgetful. It is a perfect choice for the perfectionist child who needs to see that life does not always have to go exactly to plan to be wonderful. This gentle story follows a well-meaning but muddled rabbit on a delivery mission. While the rabbit keeps finding the wrong recipients for his lettuce leaf letter, each encounter turns into a moment of unexpected connection and shared joy. It is an ideal read for children aged 3 to 7, offering a comforting reminder that our errors can sometimes be the very things that brighten someone else's day. Parents will appreciate how it de-stigmatizes 'getting it wrong' and replaces shame with a sense of whimsical community.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and metaphorical. It deals with the concept of fallibility and 'imperfection.' There are no heavy topics like death or trauma; the focus is entirely on the social-emotional experience of making a mistake.
