Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the frustration of a project gone wrong or the wiggly reality of a new pet. It is an ideal choice for the preschooler who wants to control their environment but finds that nature and animals have a mind of their own. The story follows Jack as his attempts to draw his rabbit are thwarted by the rabbit's refusal to sit still, leading to a day-long chase. Through minimalist illustrations and gentle prose, the book explores the shift from wanting to possess something to simply appreciating it. It is a quiet, realistic look at patience and the realization that we cannot always force things to happen on our schedule. It is particularly effective for children aged 3 to 7 who are learning to navigate big feelings like disappointment and the 'need for now.'
