On Wednesday, Nancy read The Rabbit Listened, a story about empathy and kindness. When something sad 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 act, and one by one they fail to offer comfort. Then the rabbit arrives. All the rabbit does is listen . . . which is just what Taylor needs.
“He (Taylor) looks scary.” EVA
“Sad,” ALL
“Surprised,” ALEX
“Afraid,” JACK
“He looks scared…the eyes.” EVA
Lea mimics his scared, small body with her own.
At the book’s end, after Taylor has been comforted by the rabbit, Jack is still concerned.
“The birds will come again and knock over again.” JACK
