Reach for this book when the bedtime transition feels incomplete or when your child seeks a little extra reassurance that you are still there even after the lights go out. It is a gentle, soothing story about a young rabbit who realizes his father forgot the final tuck-in and takes it upon himself to check on Dad instead. Through small acts of kindness, like bringing a cookie and a favorite book, Bunny restores the connection he needs to feel safe. This story beautifully highlights the reciprocal nature of love and the importance of routine in a child's world. Designed for preschoolers and early elementary children, it offers a soft landing for those who struggle with separation anxiety at night. It transforms the typical 'stalling' behavior into an act of empathy, making it a perfect choice for modeling how to communicate needs with gentleness and patience.
