The Sun is the centre of who we are. It is the “I am” in each one of us. The Moon nurtures us at night. It represents how we feel and how we care. Mercury is our voice and how we learn and Venus is our style of expression and how we love.

Through engaging rhymes and colourful descriptive illustrations, this exploratory book introduces the language of astrology in a lighhearted way that we can all relate to.

Everything has changed overnight, and Rabbit has a lot of BIG emotions to understand.

There’s a virus spreading all around the world, and Rabbit wants to know why. By asking questions of Mom, Rabbit uncovers something magical and powerful: all over the planet, people are taking action! They’re helping to protect each other, and every kid can help, too. Even Rabbit can help to heal the world.

Through conversations with children and families, and seeing the questions and feelings of her own child, Cassie St. Amand has written a book that provides a voice for children in uncertain times everywhere. Parents and caregivers can use this resource with the children in your life, and help them ask all the BIG questions they might be too afraid to say out loud.

What can we do when that cold little voice inside our own head tells us that we aren’t good enough or smart enough to matter? Or when the voice tells us that we’ll never succeed, that we look weird, that we’re too tall or too short, that we can’t do anything right?

Sometimes all it takes is a bit of self-acceptance and love to make that cold little voice warm right up so that we can become our own best friend.
