Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked or small in a world that seems to prize strength and size over all else. It is a perfect choice for the youngster who has been told they are not big enough or strong enough to join in, providing a playful but firm reminder that intelligence is the ultimate equalizer. In this witty fable by the creator of Madeline, a rabbit named Rosebud becomes indignant after reading a book that describes his species as weak and fearful. Determined to rewrite his own story, he uses a clever trick to challenge both a whale and an elephant to a tug of war. Through humor and classic storytelling, Rosebud proves that wit can outmatch brute force, making it an empowering read for preschoolers and early elementary students building their own sense of self-confidence.
