The Highly Sensitive Rabbit

A highly sensitive rabbit learns lessons of kindness and self-care from other desert animals. Aurora is a highly sensitive rabbit. She worries about the natural world and the other animals around her. When a flash flood destroys her family's burrow, Aurora must accept her sensitive nature and learn how to thrive by using breathing techniques, taking time alone, and setting boundaries. Eventually, she comes to understand that she can connect with others and enjoy the beauty of the world while embracing who she is. Based on Dr. Judith Orloff's teachings about thriving as an empath, this picture book offers easy-to-learn coping and communication skills through a beautifully written and illustrated story. It also includes a nonfiction section at the back that teaches about plants and animals native to the Sonoran Desert.
