A heartwarming children's book about grief, healing, and the power of imagination-written by an award-winning author and former foster youth.
When Lil Shen loses her beloved grandmother, her world turns quiet and gray-until a small, wrapped gift and a stuffed bunny named Bunny Best bring comfort, courage, and hope back into her life.
The Best Bunny is a beautifully illustrated picture book for children aged 4-8 that gently explores big emotions, such as sadness, loss, and loneliness. With tender storytelling and a relatable character, this story offers young readers a powerful message: it's OK not to be OK, and doing your best is more than enough.
Written by Shenandoah Chefalo, author of the award-winning memoir Garbage Bag Suitcase and trauma-informed expert, this book draws from her personal experiences growing up in the foster care system. Shenandoah's work is rooted in healing, empathy, and systemic change, and her unique perspective brings emotional depth and authenticity to every page.
This book is especially impactful for children who have experienced:
- The death of a loved one or grandparent
- Separation due to foster care, adoption, or family disruption
- Trauma, grief, or significant life changes
Perfect for:
- Parents, teachers, and school counselors
- Therapists, social workers, and trauma-informed professionals
- Foster and adoptive families
- Grief support groups and children's mental health programs
Whether used at bedtime, in classrooms, or during counseling sessions, The Best Bunny is a gentle tool to help children find hope, connection, and healing-no matter what they're going through.
