Tells the story of Taylor, a child whose block structure gets knocked over. Different animals visit Taylor and offer suggestions of how to respond, from talking about it, to ignoring it, to knocking down someone else's work...Finally the rabbit visits and just sits with Taylor, not offering any ideas, just being near, which allows Taylor to have an authentic response. It subtly normalizes many different ways to respond when things don't go your way and highlights the importance of children having the opportunity to self-identify how they are feeling. Added bonus, Taylor is never gendered in the story, which can foster wonderful conversations about gendered assumptions!
