Bookroo's summary
In a peaceful forest, the Terrible Things begin capturing animals, starting with those with feathers. Little Rabbit is puzzled and wants to understand why, but the others urge silence, fearing the same fate. As the threat grows, Little Rabbit faces a crucial decision: stay silent or stand up against the injustice. This poignant tale challenges young readers to question conformity and find the courage to act, even when others remain passive. Will Little Rabbit's voice make a difference, or will fear keep the forest silent?
From the publisher
“This is an excellent book for sensitizing young people of any denomination to recognize injustice.”–Church & Synagogue Libraries Child Study Children’s Book Committee Book of the Year SelectionThe animals in the clearing were content until the Terrible Things came, capturing all creatures with feathers. Little Rabbit wondered what was wrong with feathers, but his fellow animals silenced him. “Just mind your own business, Little Rabbit. We don’t want them to get mad at us.” A recommended text in Holocaust education programs across the United States, this unique introduction to the Holocaust encourages young children to stand up for what they think is right, without waiting for others to join them.Ages 6 and up
