Beyond the Burrow Jessica Meserve

The world can be a scary place for a small rabbit, especially when it's filled with strange-looking creatures who don't eat carrots. But does "giant, clawed, and hairy" have to mean "scary"? Rabbit is about to find out!

Rabbit loves staying close to home where it is warm and safe and cozy. After all, the outside has things with feathers and scales and horns and hooves! It's certainly better--and safer--for a rabbit to stick to what she knows best: home sweet home. But when rabbit spots a particularly juicy carrot just outside of her comfort zone, she tumbles into a whole new world she wasn't expecting!

Author-illustrator Jennifer Meserve offers an adventurous, yet reassuring tale of exploration that will inspire boldness and curiosity. Paired with soft, colorful illustrations, this beautiful picture book also features a community of endearing animals and important social emotional learning themes of friendship, kindness, and bravery. Just right for toddlers and preschoolers who might need a nudge and are reluctant to embrace new experiences.
