Reach for this book when your younger child feels a sting of exclusion as older siblings or friends head off to big kid activities. It is a perfect remedy for the 'I am too little' blues that often strike during summer or back-to-school transitions. The story follows Bailey, a young rabbit who stays home while the Bunny Scouts go camping, only to discover that with a little creativity and supportive parents, he can experience the magic of the outdoors right in his own living room. This gentle tale emphasizes that belonging is not about where you go, but how you use your imagination and the love of those around you. Kevin Henkes masterfully validates a child's feelings of jealousy and sadness while providing a constructive, joyful way to move forward. It is an ideal read for preschoolers and early elementary students who are navigating their place in the family hierarchy and learning that home can be the greatest destination of all.
