Reach for this book when your child feels like the odd one out because their talents don't look like everyone else's. It is a perfect choice for the creative soul who gets lost in a daydream or a melody while others are busy with chores. Harry is a little rabbit who, unlike his industrious siblings gathering food for winter, spends his time composing a song about the summer sun. This gentle story validates the idea that beauty and art are just as essential to a community's survival as food and shelter. It is particularly comforting for children who may be criticized for being impractical, teaching them that their unique contributions have a special kind of value. The book is ideal for ages 4 to 8, providing a soft landing for discussions about identity, contribution, and the joy of self expression.
