𝗜 𝗔𝗠 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗧𝗢𝗢! With its simple language and pretty illustrations is an easy and enjoyable read with the added bonus of imparting a very important lesson. We follow Rosie as she try’s to figure out what makes her special. On her journey she comes across various forest friends and discovers their uniqueness and in so doing discovers her own, a lovely story and special message. A welcome addition to any classroom or personal library.

Such an adorable book with a good reminder for both young and old readers. Rosie, a shy bunny, goes on a journey to discover her strengths - which ends up being bravery and courage. This book is a reminder that everyone is uniquely wired with our own individual strengths.

The message of this book is the best part, here we meet Rosie, a bunny who feels like everyone is special but herself. Throughout the story we see Rosie find confidence in herself and realize that everyone matters, even her.
As a topic that often affects adults, I think it's great that young children don't grow up with the mentality that they are never enough. So, like I said, it is such an important book that it can be read before bed since it has a rhythm that resembles a poem or a song.
The drawings were simple but very pretty.

This book had a cute premise, but ultimately fell a bit flat. The pictures were really cute , and the message was positive. However, the rhyming felt extremely forced, and some words felt like they didn't make much sense and were just added in for the sake of a rhyme.
There was a couple spelling mistakes, and the story just didn't quite make sense.

What a sweet story! Adorable characters and illustrations that convey a meaningful message that we each carry a unique gift. Everyone is valued; when we strengthen each of those gifts, we become indomitable!

I could have used hearing this sort of message more as a child. A sweet story about a bunny who sees the special in everyone else, and then finally sees it in herself too.

I'm not sure it needed a villain - the fox could have been another lesson in understanding differences.

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for access to this e-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is a cute story especially as far as the illustrations. This story is a sweet reminder and should appeal to children. Thanks for letting me read a copy

This is such a special lesson and adorable illustrations! This is a story of a little rabbit who doubts her talents. She can recognize all the things that make other animals in the forest special, but she is scared of loud sounds and just about everything else. She is kind and sweet, though. In the end, she finds her courage and some traits about herself that do make her special.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

I loved this book. Between the beautiful illustrations and the lovely message, this was just an all around feel good book. It almost makes me wish I was a child that could read more fun and empowering books like this. I'm glad to see more children's books coming out about thoughts and emotions. Wish they had more of those when I was a child!

"The best thing you can be is your own special you"

I like the idea that we are all special in our own way and the illustrations were absolutely gorgeous. I wonder if Rosie could be special without making the fox a villain and instead they could have used both of their special talents to solve a problem together. but

*Typo on page 7 should be weak and not week

I loved the illustrations in this short tale about a little bunny who suffers from low self-esteem, but the text had rhymes that seemed forced and detracted from the story.

This is a delightful story which will help children understand that no matter how shy or lacking in confidence they may feel, we each have our own skills and gifts to bring to our relationships with each other, and to the world.

By initiating an unexpected rescue of another creature in distress, this quiet little rabbit, who is remarkably hard on herself, discovers that she too has important and unique qualities which others can appreciate.

The illustrations are adorable, and so is the protagonist. Recommended for those wanting to help any child to gain greater confidence.

Self love and acceptance in yourself can be a difficult concept for people especially for adults who grew up feeling anything less then. So, if you're reading this book for your child, student or even just because you couldn't resist that cute bunny on the cover, I hope reading it also heals your inner child.

I would definitely recommend this book especially for children because in this day and age, the world can be a pretty brutal. And though it was short and sweet, the message of the story was conveyed in the purest and cutest way possible!

Thank you Anna Tomàs and Netgalley for this wholesome ARC!

Overall, the story had a great lesson to teach young children about valuing themselves and digging deep to find what makes them special. Aside from the one spelling error (week, instead of weak) the prose was error-free. At times, I stumbled on the ryhming prose because a line appeared slightly too long or too short on a few occasions.

I imagine this book being read to lull a little one of to sleep because of its sing-song nature, length, and muted color pallette. More vibrant illustrations might have been preferable for a book intended for general story time. That said, this is a title that is likely to be enjoyed by lower primary school children and younger.

Thank you Netgalley and booksgosocial for the wonderful ARC in exchange of an honest review.

The first thing I want to teach my kid is self acceptance and self love coz that's what matters the most in my opinion. This book teaches in easier way that how everyone is unique and special. There's always something hidden inside everyone which makes them different from others.

It teaches it all in the simplest way possible. Highly recommend it.

I really like the message of this story. Teaching children that we are all unique and have our own qualities and traits that make us special. This sweet little bunny is endlessly trying to find out what makes everyone else special and in the end, also discovered what makes her special.
I did have a few issues with this story. With Rosie's mom, she in a way dismisses Rosie's feelings. Instead of validating them she simply tells her she doesn't have to feel that way and not to cry. I don't like how this book portrays shyness as a weakness we need to overcome. Being shy is not a bad thing. Being shy means you are cautious, it means you may need extra time to adjust to situations or people. That is fine and we shouldn't be discouraging that in children, instead, we should help them find ways to manage their nervousness and help them gain the skills to thrive in those situations.
I also wasn't a huge fan of some of the language used. The word weak was used a lot in a bit of a negative context, as well as the word coward. I just think for children when we teach these words they shouldn't be taught in this negative way, calling people weak and a coward. Kids repeat words so easily so I worry that a child may end up using this with a peer, even if they are not being intentionally mean. Maybe I'm thinking too much into this but that's just how I feel.

I loved the rhyming, it makes it easier for children to pay attention to and keeps them engaged. Children typically respond best to books that are rhyming and sing-songy, especially younger children. I was really happy that the story had a body to it and not just a few small sentences on every other page.
The illustrations were super cute, they were bright and inviting. I love the page with the big oak tree, the way they showed the height of the tree was really good.

I loved this book, it was so precious. The illustrations were adorable, the story was great, and a perfect length. I love that the rabbit was receiving affirmation at home but also showed how to prove to herself and others that she was unique. I loved this little rabbit and her journey to discover her bravery and ability to believe in how unique she was.

The illustrations in this story were so adorable! I am now obsessed with a short white bunny with big ears. It was a cute story with an empowering message and I believe that kids will enjoy this story. I liked the rhyme scheme that was done but I also think that it sounded a bit forced sometimes. Overall, a great story for a young audience.

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for this e-ARC.

This book had such a sweet message! I liked the flow of the story and the rhyming scheme never felt stilted or too forced. The illustrations were absolutely adorable and really enhanced the story being told. I liked that the book focused on nature, trees and animals and the ways in which they have adapted to survive and thrive.

In a book which aims to explore how our differences make us unique and important, the villainization of the fox seemed like a very strange choice and one I wasn't overly convinced by. This book also had a few typos which were very noticable when you consider the fact that there is limited text on each page.

Overall I thought this book was fun and told an important story however some parts of the execution fell slightly flat for me.

What a lovely story. It's filled with adorable wildlife from the forest, and all the characters are endearing. The message is one of empowerement. As for the illustrations, they had a professional quality that I enjoyed.
