About this story
Bunny is having a wonderful morning, stacking colorful blocks into a tower that grows taller and taller, click by satisfying click. Then — CRASH! The blocks tumble everywhere, and with them comes a heavy, sad feeling: drooping ears, slumped shoulders, eyes filling with tears, everything feeling overwhelming. But Bunny remembers something special: his soft, cozy comfort pillow. He hugs it tight, takes a slow deep breath in through his nose and out through his mouth, and waits — patience means waiting until you feel ready. Then he whispers three brave words: 'I can try again.' A tiny smile starts at the corners of his mouth, hope sparkles, and Bunny builds his tower one more time. A gentle, complete lesson in emotional regulation for the youngest readers.
