With its spare, poignant text and irresistibly sweet illustrations,
The Rabbit Listened is a tender meditation on loss. When something
terrible happens, Taylor doesn't know where to turn. All the
animals are sure they have the answer. The chicken wants to talk it
out, but Taylor doesn't feel like chatting. The bear thinks Taylor
should get angry, but that's not quite right either. One by one,
the animals try to tell Taylor how to process this loss, and one by
one they fail. Then the rabbit arrives. All the rabbit does is
listen, which is just what Taylor needs. Whether read in the wake
of tragedy or as a primer for comforting others, this is a deeply
moving and unforgettable story sure to soothe heartache of all
sizes.

It's snowing and Miffy wants to go and play. She rides her sledge,
skates on the frozen river and even makes a snowman. In the snow
she finds a little bird who is too cold so Miffy helps him to build
a little house to keep him warm. Award-winning UK poet, Tony
Mitton, has worked closely with Dick Bruna's Dutch publisher to
create new translations for the classic Miffy stories that are true
to the books' original voice, and yet have a contemporary feel to
the language that makes them appealing to the modern young
audience. The translations beautifully convey the warmth and
friendliness of the original Dutch whilst maintaining a style that
is inimitably Miffy.
