The Rabbit Listened

(2) PS Taylor's dejected after a crow topples the child's wooden-block structure. A chicken urges Taylor to "talk, talk, talk about it!"; others offer well-intentioned but unhelpful advice. Expressive illustrations depict Taylor with closed-off body language. Finally, a rabbit sits beside Taylor, silent until Taylor decides to talk: "The rabbit listened," patient and compassionate, letting Taylor work through complex emotions without pressure, culminating in a positive ending.
