Nook is small and shy, and she likes to sit in the cozy, comfy space of a hollow tree watching others play. When someone comes along to take Nook’s space, she feels lost and afraid, until she discovers she has friends looking out for her in ways she never imagined. This gentle story explores shyness and sensory needs, and inspires kindness, inclusion, and friendship”

Why I like this book: Nook centers around a rabbit who is more shy and introverted and shows the rabbit being accepted for who they are rather than being expected to be more outgoing. It highlights the theme of being accepted by friends and being ourselves.
