About Knuffle Bunny Free

Reach for this book when your child is overwhelmed by big feelings but lacks the words to explain them. It is the perfect choice for navigating the stormy waters of a toddler meltdown or the heartbreak of losing a favorite security object. The story follows little Trixie and her father on a routine trip to the laundromat that turns into a catastrophe when her beloved stuffed rabbit is left behind.

This book is a masterclass in normalizing the intense emotions of early childhood. It validates a child's deep attachment to their toys while providing parents with a gentle reminder that even the most 'hapless' moments of miscommunication can be resolved with patience, family teamwork, and a little bit of detective work. It is a witty, wise, and deeply relatable pick for families with toddlers and preschoolers.
