With words by Pippa Goodhart, illustrations by Rebecca Crane, what a lovely book that can be appreciated and helpful on many levels.
First, simple visual delight over the charming, sweet (but not at all cloying) illustrations. Then, learning that we can define our spaces, announce them to others, and make sure they respect our needs and desires. Maybe I want to be alone to read by myself for the next hour, but after that you can come in and play, or maybe I'll come out an play with you. A third option would be identifying with critters or activities in the story; a fourth? Inventing and writing down our own parallel account to the story about Little Rabbit Jack.
I'm excited about future books in this series!
• My Amazon Review: beautiful!
