Aurora is a highly sensitive rabbit.  She cares about the natural world and the other animals around her, but she has a hard time connecting with others.  Her brothers tell her she is "too sensitive."  When a flash flood destroys her family's burrow, Aurora meets a spiny lizard, a wren, a skunk, and a javelina who are sensitive too.  They teach her some techniques for self care. Will she learn to connect with others while embracing who she is?

The Highly Sensitive Rabbit educates us about empaths, and offers easy-to learn coping and communication skills.  I enjoyed Tanis' beautiful, colorful, desert illustrations.
