One day, Little Rabbit feels so overwhelmed by her noisy thoughts that she decides to hide away in her burrow.
Can Little Rabbit's friends help her to quiet her anxious mind and enjoy the here and now?
This calm and reassuring story is perfect for reminding nervous readers to take things one small step at a time.
