Change in a Frightening World

Featuring an adorable little rabbit family, This House is Home by Deborah Kerbel and Yong Ling Kang is a story about family and what it means to be home. We are all for a good bunny story these days so we were super excited for this sweet little story!

Little Bunny loves their home, even when the world changes around them, their house is constant and steady. When the wheels of progress come knocking on the door, the family is very hesitant to change at first. It’s Little Bunny that sees what the future can be and how change doesn't have to be frightening but can be a new adventure.

Many families are experiencing change. The pandemic has made things very uncertain and a bit scary for young readers. Even the grownups are feeling like our happiness is being pulled away from us, we are feeling bored and lacking that spark of creativity. This lovely little story is an important reminder that even when the change seems unmovable, we can find creative solutions to our problem. There can be hope. 

The illustrations by Yong Ling Kang are so adorable. Colourfilled spreads with the most adorable bunny family invite readers to investigate what is happening not only with the bunny family, but also in their environment.
