The knowing book
Rebecca Kai Dotlich
- Reading
- Read it as a shared picture-book journey: take time to look at the illustrations, and let your child linger on moments that prompt curiosity or a response to the rabbit’s experiences.
- Themes
- A journey into the unknown: The young rabbit chooses a path and explores the world, then returns home braver and more confident. The journey and homecoming form a clear narrative arc linking exploration with a change in the rabbit’s confidence.
- Worth knowing
- Sorrow is part of the journey, alongside joy and wonder. If your child is sensitive to sad moments, you could read together and pause to check how those parts feel.
