the Best Bunny Is on Move!

Bunny Best Is on the Move! A New Home for Lil Shen and Her Stuffy Sidekick is a full-color picture book for children ages 4 to 8 about moving to a new home, navigating big feelings, and slowly beginning to feel safe and chosen again.When Lil Shen's parents can no longer take care of her, she goes to live with her aunt and three loud cousins in a house that already feels too full. Her new attic bedroom does not feel like hers, her new school is confusing, and some kids tease her for wearing hand-me-down clothes. Everything is different from the life she left behind.The one thing that has always stayed with her is Bunny Best, her loyal stuffed bunny and quiet witness to every worry, hope, and question. With Bunny Best by her side and the help of cousins Peter and Paul, Lil Shen begins to use her "Imagine A Shen" to turn her attic into a jungle hideout, look for small moments of kindness, and notice the ways she is seen and chosen in this new place.Rooted in trauma-informed, human-centered practice, this gentle story is especially meaningful for children who are moving, entering foster or kinship care, or experiencing major family changes. It validates mixed emotions and highlights imagination, play, and safe relationships as powerful supports for healing.This is the second book in The Best Bunny Series, but it can also be read on its own. A Note for Caring Adults offers guidance for using the story in homes, classrooms, and child serving settings.
